The Portland Trail Blazers will shoot for back-to-back wins after nipping the Utah Jazz 122-120 on Thursday. Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe led all scorers with 27 each, but Scoot Henderson got the glory by hitting the go-ahead shot with .1 seconds left. The game wasn’t a work of art, and it wasn’t against a good team, but Moda Center was rocking as the Blazers gave acting Coach Bjorkgren a win.
All of the news in Dallas is about the Luka Donic injury that will keep him out for at least a month. It’s a devastating blow, but quite possibly not a fatal one.
