The Portland Trail Blazers went 1-2 this week in a trio of close games. Losses to the Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit Pistons were broken up by a win over the Damian Lillard-led Milwaukee Bucks.
This week’s Blazer of the Week had a couple standout performances, including almost playing fourth quarter hero against the Pistons. This week the honor goes to Anfernee Simons.
Simons averaged 29.0 points and 7.3 assists during the week while shooting 53.4% from the field and 51.5% from behind the arc. He showed flashes of being more of a distributor in short stretches, and worked off the ball when paired with Scoot Henderson.
