The Portland Trail Blazers are winners of two of their last three, and a trio of Blazers took turns in front of the camera to talk about it.
Anfernee Simons was honored with the walk-off interview after leading his team with 25 points and six dimes, but spent some time giving credit to teammate Deandre Ayton:

Back in the locker room, Blazers forward Kris Murray talked about a back-and-forth affair, making an impact a bench player, and some praise for fellow forward Rayan Rupert:
Our very own Conor Bergin is writing a brief piece about Rupert’s game, in part using Rupert’s postgame interview, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
