Game 1 was just as close as many people expected, with the Denver Nuggets just about defending homecourt.
Nikola Jokic was once again the star of the show, putting up 37 points and was perfect from the line.
But Damian Lillard kept Portland within touching distance throughout the entire game, finishing with a game-high 39 points.
Denver know the importance of defending homecourt heading into Game 3 in Portland, but the Trail Blazers will be aiming to cause an upset tonight.
