Grant s free throw was a sure win for the Nuggets! Rowe returned and Yang Hansen was DNP-only for the entire game. He was abandoned by the four centers.

On November 1, Yang Hansen ushered in the first NBA Cup game of his career. It was also the first opportunity to face Nikola Jokic in the regular season. Yang Hansen definitely wanted to appear against his own template. Unfortunately, with Lowe's comeback, Yang Hansen was reduced to a water cooler. In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Nuggets 109-107, and Grant's free throw was the winner.

With about 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Lowe came on the field to replace Klingen, and Reese was not used in the first quarter. Reese's three-pointer in the last game was very accurate. In the first quarter, Lowe scored 2 points and 1 rebound on 1-of-1 in 4 minutes and 12 seconds. Klingen played 7 minutes and 48 seconds, 0-for-4 + 0-for-2 three-pointers, scoring 0 points, 6 rebounds and 0 assists.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers used their small forward lineup again. This small lineup quickly narrowed the point difference to 3 points. The main rotation at the fifth position was still Klingen. Klingen was replaced again, and then Reese got rotation time. Klingen played 13 minutes and 33 seconds in the first half, Lowe played 4 minutes and 13 seconds in the first half, Reese played 2 minutes and 55 seconds, and only Yang Hansen sat on the bench.

It was very tragic. In the third quarter, Yang Hansen still did not get any rotation time. Klingen played 7 minutes, Lowe played 4 minutes, and Rees played 1 minute. Yang Hansen waved a towel off the court. He was completely reduced to a water dispenser.

In the last quarter, the Trail Blazers continued to use a small forward lineup to chase points. With 4 minutes and 45 seconds left, they were only 2 points away. Avdija made a mistake in the Nuggets' first offense after the timeout and counterattacked to equalize. Then Jokic and Murray once again helped the Nuggets overtake, but the Trail Blazers used their lives to equalize again. Yang Hansen watched the show from the sidelines, and Grant succeeded in a free throw. Klingen had the last 24 minutes, Reese had the last 7 minutes, Lowe had the last 11 minutes, and Yang Hansen had 0 minutes.
