The Portland Trail Blazers played the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night because, well, somebody had to. The game wasn’t pretty. Both teams committed turnovers and tossed up threes. 68 combined free throw attempts contributed to the ambiance. There was no smoke, but when the noise of the sad trombone cleared, Portland had earned a 129-121 victory. Shaedon Sharpe scored a career-high 36 points in the process. Deni Avdija played only 6 minutes before exiting the game with a calf injury.
