Jusuf Nurkic saw Kendrick Perkins' comments about his defensive abilities, and he didn't appreciate them. The Trail Blazers center called out the ESPN analyst after Portland's 115-95 win over Denver on Saturday, which evened the first-round series at two games apiece. Nurkic's anger stemmed from a tweet sent out Friday in which Perkins called Nurkic and Enes Kanter "the [worst] defensive bigs in the NBA."
