Wilson Chandler hit a tiebreaking three-pointer with 14.9 seconds remaining in overtime, and the Denver Nuggets beat the Portland Trail Blazers, 115-111, Tuesday night in Denver for their season-best sixth consecutive victory.
Danilo Gallinari scored 25 points, including a key three-pointer in the extra period, and Ty Lawson had 24 points and 12 assists for the Nuggets, who are 2-0 in overtime this season.
Portland, which lost for the first time in six overtime games this season, was led by LaMarcus Aldridge's 28 points. Nicolas Batum had 22 points, J.J. Hickson 19 and Damian Lillard 16.
Gallinari hit his third three of the game for an overtime lead but Aldridge responded with a turnaround jumper that tied it 109-109 with 51.8 seconds left. Lawson then lobbed a pass to JaVale McGee for an alley-oop dunk.
The score was tied again when Aldridge hit both free throws after being fouled by McGee. That set the stage for the decisive shot by Chandler, who was playing his second game since returning from a hip injury that sidelined him for two months.
