PORTLAND -- Trail Blazers forward Jake Layman hasn’t put up many points in his first two season out of Maryland, scoring just 112 points in 70 career games. But on the rare opportunities that he does score, he tends to do so in bunches.
That was the case Wednesday night, with the 6-9 swingman putting up 18 points in the first 12 minutes of play before finishing with 28 points on 10-of-14 shooting in Portland’s 116-83 victory versus the Phoenix Suns in front of a crowd of 15,051 at the Moda Center.
With the win, the Trail Blazers are now 2-2 in exhibition play, with both of of those victories coming versus the Suns.
