Michael Porter Jr. Posts 16-Point, 13-Rebound Double-Double
2 years agoDenver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. had a nice double-double in Monday's championship-clincher against Miami, contributing 16 points on 7-for-17 shooting and matching his playoff career high with 13 rebounds. He secured his eighth double-double of the postseason and only five players had more of them. Porter Jr., who endured another miserable night from deep with a 1-for-6 effort, wrapped up his line with three assists. The 24-year-old hit only 14 percent of his threes in the Finals and struggled for most of the contest, but he made a number of key plays Monday and played a big role overall in the championship win. After undergoing three different back surgeries, the triumph must feel particularly special for Porter Jr.
