Finally! A win which feels somewhat impressive, against a serious .500 team! And the Portland Trail Blazers deserved every bit of it, too.
The Blazers ousted the Houston Rockets 117-107 at the Toyota Center, behind 25 points from Damian Lillard. In what has been a frustrating year for Portland so far, this feels like their best win so far, and could provide them with some much-needed momentum.
Along with Lillard’s 25, CJ McCollum poured in 24 of his own, whilst Carmelo Anthony had himself a nice little revenge game, going 7-10 from the field for 18 points and 12 rebounds vs his former club.
