PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Jerami Grant made a pair of free throws with 1.4 seconds left and the Portland Trail Blazers rallied for a 109-107 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night in the NBA Cup opener for both teams.

Denver led 81-71 going into the fourth quarter. With 27.7 seconds left and the Nuggets in front 107-105, Grant hit a pair of free throws for the Blazers to tie it.

After a scramble on the other end, Shaedon Sharpe blocked Aaron Gordon's jumper and the Nuggets were called for a shot clock violation, giving Portland the ball with three seconds left.

A foul was called on Gordon and Grant made the free throws. Nikola Jokic missed a 13-foot jumper as the clock ran out.

Jokic had 21 points and 14 rebounds but fell just short of his fifth straight triple double to open the season with nine assists. Jokic went into the game tied with Oscar Robertson (1961-62) and Russell Westbrook (2020-21) for most consecutive triple-doubles to start the season with four.

Grant had 16 points off the bench for the Blazers, who won their third straight. Deni Avdija led Portland with 23 and Sharpe had 19.

Jamal Murray added 22 points for the Nuggets. The loss snapped Denver's three- game winning streak.

Murray was questionable with left calf soreness but started and the Nuggets went up 30-18 on his layup. Avdija's layup tied it for Portland at 41 but the Nuggets went into halftime with a 57-53 lead.

The Blazers briefly pulled in front 68-67 on Kris Murray's layup before Denver's 9-0 run to end the third quarter for a 10-point lead.

There was a lengthy delay at the end of the first quarter because of a shot clock malfunction at the Moda Center.

Safid Deen, USA TODAY October 31, 2025 at 7:18 PM

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Inter Miami and Nashville SC must be getting tired of each other.

They'll meet in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series in the MLS Cup Playoffs – their third matchup in as many weeks – on Saturday, Nov. 1 at Geodis Park in Nashville, Tenn.

It's been a one-sided affair, to say the least.

Lionel Messi had a hat trick with an assist in a 5-2 win on the final day of the regular season in Nashville on Oct. 18, then scored two goals with an assist in a 3-1 win in Game 1 at Inter Miami's Chase Stadium on Oct. 24.

Still, it's just a 1-0 series lead for Inter Miami, where a close-out win on the road will help them move onto the second round of the playoffs.

Game 3, if necessary, would be on Nov. 8.

"We know despite having had two positive results against them in the last two weekends, we have to understand that Nashville has put us in many difficult moments," Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said of Nashville before practice on Friday, Oct 31. "We've dealt with it well, but they'll surely put us in a difficult moment again. We have to be prepared for that."

Inter Miami has not lost in its last 10 matches against Nashville, but expects them to play with the same intensity they had in the first half of their Decision Day match to end the season.

Nashville led 2-1 at halftime at home with goals from Jacob Shaffelburg and Sam Surridge, a 2025 MVP finalist this season like Messi. However, Messi scored two of Inter Miami's four unanswered goals in the second half of that matchup.

During Game 1, Messi and Inter Miami took a 3-0 lead before Nashville's Hany Mukhtar scored a free kick in the closing minutes to ruin a clean sheet.

While Inter Miami may feel in command, their historic first-round playoff loss to Atlanta United last season still lingers this postseason.

Inter Miami, the 2024 Supporters' Shield winners, won Game 1 against Atlanta before dropping the next two matches to end their season short of MLS Cup title expectations.

"We're doing well as a group. We're on a good run. But we can't get overconfident about our opponents because anything can happen," said Tadeo Allende, who scored in Game 1 of the series for Inter Miami.

Messi scored two goals as Inter Miami won the first game of a best-of-three series, 3-1.

Inter Miami left back Jordi Alba returned to practice after missing a session Tuesday due to a finger injury, Mascherano said.

Midfielder Rodrigo De Paul was given an excused absence after Game 1 to see his girlfriend, Argentine singer Tini Stoessel, perform in concert last weekend in Argentina. He returned to practice on Monday, and practiced all week.

"Rodrigo traveled over the weekend because we gave them Saturday and Sunday off. He had to travel to Argentina for personal reasons, and we gave him permission to do so. On Monday, he was here training with the rest of the team," Mascherano said of De Paul.

"I'm one of those coaches who, when I give players time off, I don't ask them what they're going to do … their private life is their private life. I have no reason to get involved in their private life. I'll also tell you that we knew he had to travel for some personal matters he had to resolve in Argentina, and he took advantage of the weekend to do so."

Put those sad horns away and sound the harps of *angles* above, because the holy golden chocolate has gone to *the* demon queen of* RuPaul's Drag Race* season 14.

"I'm feeling good, I'm feeling very lucky and happy that I get to continue on doing my bulls--- and showing my ass," Bosco exclusively tells *EW's BINGE* podcast (below) of unwrapping the elusive, gilded piece of candy that allowed her a free pass to return to the *Drag Race* competition after her elimination at the end of Friday night's episode, promising that she'll continue to serve "new-and-improved versions of naked" now that she has a new lease on life in the Werk Room.

"After the lip-sync [against Jorgeous in the bottom-two], I was pretty defeated, like, well, this is where the journey ends. I was ready for them to play those sad trombone horns that we hear every single week," Bosco continues. "They do a really nice job of editing out how hard it is to open those chocolate bars. There's usually about a minute of us struggling with the wrapping, and that's always really funny to watch. I struggled with the wrapping a little bit and saw this piece of gold sticking out, and I was like, there's no way. It was the full gold bar. I started scream-laughing, I think I blacked out, full astral projection, scream-laughing. I remember screaming, 'This season is never going to f---ing end!'"

By making epic, explosive television elsewhere throughout the episode — which saw the queens performing in the *Moulin Ru!* stage production as part of the fan-favorite Rusical song-and-dance challenge — Bosco certainly earned her right to return so quickly after her elimination. At the top of the installment, she clashed with fellow contestant Lady Camden over their shared desire to play the lead role of Saltine, which ended in a group vote that deemed Bosco as the rightful recipient.

RuPaul's Drag Race

Still, Bosco explains, the gals were "vibing within an hour or so" of the argument over the part.

"I was very aware that I was the one in the wrong and being the pettier person, I was like, I'll wait until she's good to talk. By the time we started rehearsals, we were Gucci, we were fine," she remembers. Later, on the runway, Bosco endured a few more verbal lashings from her season 14 sisters — particularly Jorgeous, who quipped about Bosco's tripple-bottom placement in the prior week's lip-sync knockout rounds after Mama Ru asked the remaining queens to tell her who they thought should be eliminated and why.

"That was so funny. It was such a good clap-back," Bosco admits. "Jorgeous was really heated with me in that moment, because I was mean to Lady Camden. Valid. She was mad at me because I [told RuPaul I'd pick] her. She was mad and had a really funny one-liner and comeback to it. Work. She won the one-liner-off there. I'm happy for her flowers there. She beat me in the lip-sync before it even started," Bosco says. "I am a strong believer that drag queens by nature are assholes. While I'm a kind person, I am absolutely an asshole. I don't feel any shame in being a little brat 12 weeks into this competition. I'm usually on my best behavior. I really wanted that thing, so I fought for it."
