PORTLAND, Ore. – Damian Lillard scored 36 points and the Portland Trail Blazers extended their winning streak over the Orlando Magic to eight games with a 106-97 victory on Tuesday night.
Carmelo Anthony added a season-high 23 points, including five 3-pointers, and moved past Oscar Robertson into 12th place on the NBA’s career scoring list. “That’s a big honor right there," Anthony said. "I try to play it cool.
Sometimes I try to sit back and reflect on these moments, take these moments in. I’m enjoying this. I’m glad I can keep climbing up the charts.
But the Big O, that’s big.” Nikola Vucevic had 27 points and 15 rebounds for the short-handed Magic, who have lost six of their last seven games.
