The Portland Trail Blazers found themselves in yet another double-digit, second half hole early in the third quarter on Wednesday night. And as they’ve done multiple times already this season, the team hit the comeback trail to pull away from the Charlotte Hornets on their way to a 105-95 victory at Spectrum Center. It was an up-and-down performance from the road team, but they buckled down when it mattered most to improve to 8-3 on the year, while handing the Hornets their sixth consecutive loss in the process.
Damian Lillard shook off a slow start to finish with a game-high 26 points, and played a critical role in the comeback effort.
