With the series tied at two games apiece, the odds will be in the Denver Nuggets' favor as Game 5 will take place on their home floor. But Portland Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts sent out a gentle reminder to their foes.

“We’ve won on the road in OKC and in Denver,” Stotts said Monday afternoon, per Jamie Hudson of NBCS Sports. “We know that’s something that we’ve done before and can do again.”

The Western Semifinals between the Nuggets and the Blazers has been one of the tightly contested matchups in the 2019 postseason. Most noteworthy in their series so far is the quadruple-overtime match they played in Game 3, which saw Portland come out on top.
