Damian Lillard’s number 0 on his jersey matched his points, rebounds, assist and minutes totals Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons, but the Portland Trail Blazers still triumphed in a 110-92 win.
Lillard suffered from abdominal pain after playing 31 minutes in Monday night’s loss to the Utah Jazz. His absence opened up opportunities for other guards on the roster to contribute.
Anfernee Simons drew the start, playing 36 minutes and scoring 12 points while grabbing six rebounds and dishing out five assists. C.J. McCollum led the way as the primary offensive creator, scoring a team-high 28 points on 11 of 26 shooting.
