9.) Blazers Cut Down the Nets
This win was one of the most complete performances by the Blazers offensively.
Every starter—besides Noah Vonleh—had 17+ points, with C.J. McCollum leading the charge. The guard dropped in 31 points on 4-5 shooting from three and 13-22 from the field. He even threw in five rebounds and assists for good measure.
The biggest surprise was Al-Farouq Aminu, who dropped in 23 points on Brooklyn. The forward—who hasn’t had as much success shooting this year—made 5-6 threes and shot 9-13 from the field.
Meyers Leonard had nine points off the bench; Allen Crabbe had eight points as well.
All the buckets going in let Portland run away with a 130-116 win. At this time, the 26-35 Blazers were just getting going.
