The Portland Trail Blazers outlasted the LA Clippers Wednesday night on the road in an up-and-down game for both teams. When the smoke cleared in crunch time, the Blazers were winners, 106-105.
Portland guard Anfernee Simons led the Blazers in scoring with 25 points on 10-24 shooting and six assists. Fellow guard Scoot Henderson led a young-guy revolution that played fast and flipped momentum back Portland’s way after an anemic start. Henderson produced 14 points on 5-8 shooting (2-3 from deep), six assists, three rebounds and a steal in 24 minutes, marking another strong, controlled performance in his early-season catalogue.
