The Portland Trail Blazers (39 - 19) defeated the Sacramento Kings (20 - 37) 110 - 99 on Sunday. Portland dropped two games coming out of the All-Star break, but they've since rattled off three consecutive wins. Damian Lillard lead the way with a game - high 31 points and seven assists and got some help from LaMarcus Aldridge putting up 26 points and 15 rebounds of his own. Backup center Joel Freeland played for the first time since Jan. 3, missing 24 games with a strained right shoulder. The Blazers are in fourth place in the Western Conference standings. Sacramento has had to play their last two games without DeMarcus Cousins as he continues to rest ankle and hip injuries, losing both games. Cousins is averaging 24 points per game this season, and the starting frontcourt of Carl Landry and Jason Thompson on Sunday could muster only seven combined points in 34 minutes. Rudy Gay tried to pick up the slack, scoring a team - high 24 points, and Derrick Williams pitched in 18 points off the bench, but without Cousins, the Kings did n't have enough rations to survive the Blazers on Sunday. They've gone 2 - 3 since George Karl took over the coaching reigns after the All-Star break. Sunday's game was the final matchup the Blazers and Kings will have this season, with the Blazers taking the season series 2 - 1. Portland will continue their road trip against the Clippers on Wednesday, and Sacramento will embark on an eight - game road trip that starts in New York on Tuesday.
