Porter’s tip-in bucket with 3:16 left to play gave him 39 points but he missed an open 3-pointer that would have given him his 40. When Malone took him out about the two-minute mark, the fans gave Porter a standing ovation. The Nuggets improved to 15-2 all-time when Porter scores 30 or more points.

The Nuggets have made big trades in the past. While some of these have not been on actual trade deadline day, they were all in-season and reshaped the franchise at the time.
