Jusuf Nurkic posts 21 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks for Portland
Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic scored 21 points (7-of-13 field goals, 7-of-8 free throws) with 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals, 4 blocks, and 2 turnovers in 35.0 minutes of a 126-117 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.
The swipes and swats are both season-bests for the Bosnian Bear. He had just 1 steal in the previous eight games combined. Nurkic is also averaging a beastly 19.5 points and 15.5 rebounds over the past two contests. He will look to keep the production up versus the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday.
