BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Austin Rivers skipped like he was back in Portland dashing the Blazers’ playoff hopes. His scorching performance Wednesday night against the Nets invoked his stunning scoring binge last spring. Only this time, instead of the playoffs, it came on the second-night of a back-to-back when the Nuggets were searching for a flame. Rivers poured in 25 points, including 22 in the second half, pacing the Nuggets to a 124-118 win over the Nets.
