Blazers over Warriors in overtime, 129-124.
Picking up a win Monday against the lowly Golden State Warriors was absolutely critical for a Portland Blazers team that has remained committed to chasing a playoff spot this year, despite a highly disappointing first half to the season.
And last night, point guard Damian Lillard found a way to will his team to victory.
Lillard set a franchise-record 61 points behind 11 three-pointers Monday night, breaking his own records for points and three-pointers in a game as he led the Blazers to a 129-124 overtime win over the Warriors at the Moda Center. Lillard, who scored 60 points against the Nets in November, is the only player in Blazers’ history that has scored 60-plus points twice in the same season.
While Damian continues to have belief in all his teammates, he also knows there are going to be times when he has to take it upon himself to carry the group, especially as the Blazers fight to turn things around in the second half of the season.
The Blazers still sit in 10th place in the Western Conference, although they are only two games behind the eighth-place Memphis Grizzlies.
The number 12 ranked Oregon Ducks and USC meet for first place in the Pac-12 on the line Thursday at 8 p.m. at Matthew Knight Arena.
Oregon is the only school in the nation with its men’s basketball, women’s basketball and football teams all currently ranked in the Associated Press top 12. Women’s basketball is No. 4, football is No. 5 and men’s basketball is No. 12.
Payton Pritchard is one of two players nationally averaging at least 19.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game. He enters the week needing 19 more assists to break the UO career record (614, Kenya Wilkins, 1993-97).
Meanwhile, on the women’s side, – Sabrina Ionescu has been named the Pac-12 player of the week for the second time this season after leading the Oregon women’s basketball team to a pair of dominant wins and reaching multiple impressive milestones, the conference announced on Monday.
Lonescu was also
named ESPN National Player of the Week for the second time this year.
This is the 10th
career Pac-12 player of the week award for Ionescu, putting her alone at No. 2
in conference history. Chiney Ogwumike (Stanford, 2011-14) is the all-time
leader with 18 career weekly honors.
Lonescu enjoyed one of the greatest games of her
storied career in the Ducks’ 87-55 win over No. 3 Stanford on Thursday,
erupting for a career-high 37 points while matching her career-high with 14
made field goals. The senior’s stellar scoring performance pushed her career
points total to 2,265, moving her past Allison Lang (2,252, 1980-84) for the
program’s all-time scoring record that stood for 36 year
Fresh off of a 54-46 win over cross-town rival Henley Friday, the Klamath Union Pelicans boys basketball team is listed as 7th in this week’s OSAA 4A power rankings.
