Blazers go on an 11-3 run, looks like they’re getting things settled down, then they have an unforced turnover that leads to an and-one. – 7:57 PM

#Cavs started out the second quarter pretty hot, but they’ve been relatively sloppy for the last few minutes. Portland climbing back into this thing. Cavs up 46-38. – 7:57 PM

Garland just faked a pass that sent both Jerami Grant and Jusuf Nurkic into the lane with Jarrett Allen. Wide open 3-pointer for Garland splashes through. He follows it up with a step back that beats the shot clock buzzer on the next possession. #Cavs up 12. – 7:42 PM

Garland used his eyes really well to get Cedi Osman that open corner 3. On the money pass to Jarrett Allen for an alley oop on the next possession. He’s already got six dimes tonight. – 7:34 PM

Justise Winslow will get the start tonight versus the Cavaliers in place of Shaedon Sharpe. Chauncey Billups feels like the team hasn’t gotten off to good starts on the defensive end and hopes inserting Winslow into the starting lineup will change that. – 5:40 PM
