Nikola Jokic scored 29 points, Jamal Murray added 21 points and 10 assists and the Denver Nuggets rallied past the short-handed but spirited Portland Trail Blazers 112-103 Sunday night, their second win over their division rivals in 48 hours.

The Nuggets didn’t trail by more than a bucket in their 120-108 win over Portland on Friday night, also at Ball Arena, but didn’t lead this one until the final seconds of the third quarter when Jokic’s finger-roll layup broke an 84-84 tie.

That erased the last remnants of Portland’s 14-point first-half lead.

The Blazers, who had just one 3-pointer in the second half after knocking down 10 before halftime, got 27 points from Deandre Ayton and 26 from Anfernee Simons.

Denver’s fourth-quarter offensive explosion, which extended their home record to 21-4, saw rookie Peyton Watson score ten of his twelve points, one of four Nuggets who finished in double figures.

With Malcolm Brogdon still out due to a sore knee and Jerami Grant missing his second straight game due to lower back discomfort, Blazers backups Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle were started.

Reserve Scott Henderson, who turned 20 on Saturday, one day after scoring 30 points against the Nuggets, finished with 14 in the rematch. Over the weekend, Portland coach Chauncey Billups texted him a sort of congratulations.

“I said, ‘Scoot, there aren’t many guys in the entire world that can say they scored 30 points on the world champions as a teenager,” Billups recounted. “But you’re not a teenager anymore. Let’s see what you’re going to do in your 20s.”
