\nPorter ended the first half with 15 points on a 5 for 6 shooting performance but he ended the game with 15 points and 5 for 8 from the field.<\/p>\n
Per ESPN<\/strong><\/a>, \u201cI just didn\u2019t touch the ball,\u201d he said. \u201cThey didn\u2019t do anything differently.\u201d \u201cTo beat that team, we’ve gotta get more players involved.\u201d<\/p>\n MPJ on wanting to get more involved on offense after Game 4 loss pic.twitter.com\/iI7qRIHAeC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) September 10, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nAccording to Second Spectrum data, Porter had 25 touches in the first half, third on the team behind stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray . In the second half, Porter had just 12 touches, seventh most on the team.
\n\u201cThat is up to the playcalling, the coaches and whose hands they want to put the ball in,\u201d Porter said. \u201cWe kept going to [Jokic] and [Murray] and they are two amazing players, but I just think to beat them we need to get more players involved. We have to move the ball a little bit better. We can\u2019t be predictable against that team.\u201d
\n\u201cI think if I am going to be out there on the floor playing a lot of minutes, I think I should voice that,\u201d he said. \u201cI will probably talk to the coaches and tell them what I see being out there on the floor just letting them know, look, they know what we are doing. We have to swing the ball. We have a lot of players that can play basketball and score, so we have to get some more guys involved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
