A career-high 35 points from Jordan McRae led a Washington bench that put on its third consecutive strong performance, but the Wizards (10-24) were defeated 122-103 by the Portland Trail Blazers (15-21) Friday night at Capital One Arena. McRae became the first player in the NBA to score 35 points and grab five rebounds off the bench in a game this season.
McRae was asked to carry a heavier offensive load as the Wizards were without both Bradley Beal and Isaiah Thomas. For the third time in the last four games, Beal was out due to lower right leg soreness.
