The Trail Blazers ended their unscheduled hiatus with a 116-113 victory over the Knicks on Sunday. Led by Damian Lillard’s 39 points, the Blazers raced out to a double-digit lead that they would maintain until the final quarter. In the second half, thanks to a solid performance from rookie guard Immanuel Quickley, the Knicks got within a single possession in the final moments of the game.
It wasn’t pretty, but the Blazers did just enough outlast the Knicks for the win. Here is a second look at Portland’s ninth victory of the season.
