After four quarters of back-and-forth play with neither team able to gain a long advantage, it came down to one shot between the Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz. And Scoot Henderson came up huge, nailing a fade-away to beat the Utah Jazz, 122-120. The Blazers somewhat avenged their recent 42-point loss to the Jazz, thanks to a fun late-game push where they shut down Utah for 2 minutes while racking up points. Let’s dig in.
Blazer of the Game: Shaedon Sharpe. He teamed with honorable mention Deni Avdija to put the team on their backs, scoring against Utah’s limited defense, while making an extra effort at the other end.
