PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — On a night in which they were without starting center Jusuf Nurkic, everything else went right for the Portland Trail Blazers.
Damian Lillard had 36 points and 11 assists to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 132-105 win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Lillard's backcourt mate CJ McCollum was excellent as well, scoring 30 points in the win.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Noah Vonleh is not sure how the ball ended up with him, though he thinks it may have bounced off of teammate Meyers Leonard.
No matter how it happened, Vonleh's layup at the buzzer gave the Portland Trail Blazers a 99-98 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night despite resting starters Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.
"I didn't know the ball was going to bounce that way," Vonleh said. "It just magically fell into my hands and we ended up winning the game."
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — As CJ McCollum sees it, there's no time like the present for the Trail Blazers to snap out of their defensive funk.
McCollum scored 20 points and Portland snapped a six-game losing streak with a 102-89 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.
The win ended the Blazers' longest skid of the season and was the second straight game they have shown intensity on defense — something that has eluded them at times this season.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Damian Lillard thinks his Portland Trail Blazers lack that "killer instinct" to put away games when they should.
Lillard had 36 points and CJ McCollum scored 31 to lead Portland past the Sacramento Kings 122-120 in overtime Friday night.
The victory could have come easier, though. The Blazers were up 106-101 with 1:19 to go in regulation, yet nearly let this one slip away.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Trail Blazers forward Meyers Leonard has found himself after the hardest year of his life.
It started at the beginning of last season, when Leonard gambled by turning down Portland's $40 million contract extension offer. Then he dislocated his shoulder twice, finally succumbing to surgery and watching as his team went to the playoffs.
Now, he views the adversity as a victory of sorts — because it brought him to the place he's at today.
