Evan Turner’s Triple-Double Lifts Blazers Over Timberwolves

The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight behind 60 bench points and lights out shooting. Of the ten Portland players who suited up, none recorded fewer than seven points as the team converted 50-91 field goals and 15-30 three-pointers.

In addition to the exceptional shooting, Damian Lillard and Enes Kanter registered double-doubles. More impressively, Evan Turner one-upped them with a triple-double, attained with a few timely rebounds in the final minutes of the game. Fueled by the gaudy stat lines of those three, the Blazers recovered from a rough third quarter to beat the Timberwolves 132-122.
