In the late game on Thursday night the Portland Trail Blazers met up with the Nuggets.  Denver seemed to have a grasp on the whole game even though they let Portland back in it many times, the Nuggets held their ground and came away with the win.  The final score ended at 106-90.

Carmelo Anthony returned from his one game suspension due to not coming out of the game against the Indiana Pacers.  George Karl, the Nuggets head coach was peeved that Mello basically ignored him and sent a statement to him by suspending him.  Anthony ended up apologizing live on TNT during half time and all things should be copasetic now.

The top 3 scorers for the Nuggets were Carmelo Anthony with a huge 38 points, J.R. Smith with 17 points and Nene with 16 points.  The high man off the bench was Linas Kleiza with 15 points.  Denver improves their season long record to 40 wins and 22 losses.
