The Miami Heat made things interesting in the fourth quarter, but the Portland Trail Blazers hung on for the 115-99 victory Monday night at Moda Center, extending their impressive win streak to double digits, the most since they won 11 in a row in November of 2013. Damian Lillard lead the Blazers with 32 points and 11 assists, and Goran Dragic was Miami’s top scorer with 23 points.
Here are a few takeaway’s from tonight’s game:
- Nurk goes beast mode. Jusuf Nurkic came out aggressive early and never looked back, taking advantage of Hassan Whiteside’s absence.
