Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons caught fire in the third quarter of Sunday’s 137-131 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Simons erupted for 24 points and five 3s in 12 minutes to help Portland keep pace with Luka Doncic and the Mavs.
The performance was reminiscent of some memorable performances from all-time great scorers in Blazers lore — Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum ... and Martell Webster?
That’s right. The Blazers broadcasting crew ran a graphic during Sunday’s game that recounted the greatest single-quarter scoring performances in Blazers franchise history; the list was populated with Lillard and McCollum outbursts.
