The Portland Trail Blazers (11-20) narrowly defeated the Dallas Mavericks (20-12) last night 126-122 at the Moda Center. The Blazers finished the game with 4 players scoring twenty points or more (Sharpe, 23; Simons, 22; Ayton and Avdija, 21 apiece). Portland assistant coach Nate Bjorkgren is now 2-0 while filling in for head coach Chauncey Billups (absent due to a death in the family).
Following the win, media connected with Blazers’ players and Bjorkgren for postgame interviews. Here are some highlights:
