The Portland Trail Blazers entered Wednesday’s game against the Utah Jazz desperate to create some positive momentum as they look to get their season back on track. As he has time and time again, star Damian Lillard answered the call. Lillard erupted for a season-high 60 points to lead Portland to the 134-124 victory in one of the signature performances of his impressive NBA career; falling just one point shy of tying a career-high for single-game scoring.
Jerami Grant added 19 points for the Blazers, while Anfernee Simons had 16—hitting crucial shots in the fourth quarter with Lillard resting on the bench.
