Damian Lillard’s 41 Points Lift Trail Blazers Over Orlando Magic

The NBA scoring torrent continued tonight as the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Orlando Magic 128-114, winning their inaugural road game of the new season and pushing their record to 3-1. The outing wasn’t smooth, but focus proved a greater challenge than the Magic. Portland’s bench players acquitted themselves well, but that might not have been enough to bring victory on a night when Portland’s defense started strong, then melted as the game progressed. When all else failed, Damian Lillard scored 41 points to make sure his team walked away with the win.
