Porter’s tip-in bucket with 3:16 left to play gave him 39 points but he missed an open 3-pointer that would have given him his 40. When Malone took him out about the two-minute mark, the fans gave Porter a standing ovation. The Nuggets improved to 15-2 all-time when Porter scores 30 or more points.

Nuggets coach Michael Malone said the team is "not trading Michael Porter" when asked if he's had conversations with the forward about being in trade talks.
