Sometimes, when a team is really struggling, as the Trail Blazers have the last few weeks, it takes an uncommon performance to snap out of it. Tuesday night, Anfernee Simons did just that.
The 6-3 guard in his third season out of IMG Academy made his first nine three-point attempts to spark a 133-112 blowout of the Indiana Pacers Tuesday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
“It felt good, we needed one like this,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. “We’ve had a tough stretch, obviously, and it was good to see some good shooting. I thought our defense picked up late in the second quarter and really in the third quarter.
