Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker ripped off his second consecutive double-double in Saturday’s 107-100 overtime win against the Memphis Grizzlies on the road, putting up 18 points on 8-16 shooting and 12 rebounds.
No two points were bigger than his two game-tying free throws with 1.3 seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime. Walker corralled a miss from Ashton Hagans underneath the basket — one of his five offensive boards — and got fouled by Memphis forward Santi Aldama on his put-back attempt. The second-year forward stepped up to the line and calmly sunk the must-have free throws.
