Facundo Campazzo returns to the court in the state of Oregon to face the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Cordovan has been fulfilling great performances and his Denver Nuggets lead the first round series in the NBA playoffs by 2 to 1. This Saturday they seek to stay with the third win.
The Cordoba, who comes from a great game that threw historical numbers on his part, started with Austin Rivers, Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic.

Portland took advantage with a good start from Norman Powell, a man traded this season from the Toronto Raptors (7 points of the first 11 of the team) taking advantage of the cold start of Jokic in the face of the rim (1-5, being his only touchdown in that span one after Campazzo's pass that left him alone under the basket).
Austin Rivers (2) and Michael Porter Jr. (also after a good pass from the Argentine) with their triples kept Denver in the game (13-14) in the first 5 and a half minutes.
And once the Portland perimeter (CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard) also started to hit the triple, the Trail Blazers escaped to 10 (23-13).
