Blazers Let 16-Point Lead Slip Away, Collapse in Second Half Against Knicks

On a night in which Damian Lillard made history, once again climbing the NBA’s all-time scoring list, another collapse by the Portland Trail Blazers ensured that it couldn’t be properly celebrated.

Leading at one point by 16, the Blazers again had one too many droughts and not enough defensive stops, watching as the New York Knicks flipped the script in the second half on the way to a 123-107 win. Tuesday marked the 16th time — an NBA high — in which the Blazers lost a game after having a double-digit lead.
