The Portland Trail Blazers (36-34) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (25-43) 117-112. Damian Lillard led the way with 33 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Blazers while New Orleans had Ryan Anderson lead their team in scoring with 30 while adding seven rebounds and three assists on the night.
The Pelicans shot 48 percent from the field, 40 percent from beyond the arc on 21 attempts and lost. Don't know what to tell you about that, folks.
Actually, I do. I found New Orleans' perimeter defense to be less than spectacular.
