The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the host Brooklyn Nets, 129 - 109, at Barclay's Center on Sunday. In a battle between two of the worst defenses in the NBA, the more potent offense was able to prevail with a victory. Portland was hitting on all cylinders offensively, as they hit 58 percent of their shots in their win. One huge factor for the Blazers was their ability to rebound, as they snatched down 50 rebounds, while holding the Nets to 36 boards on their end. Portland never took their foot off the pedal, as they won each quarter and led by 23 at times in their victory. Their subpar defense was n't shabby either, as they held the Nets to under 40 percent shooting. Portland (8 - 7) have been struggling on defense over recent weeks, but they showed some promising signs here in their win here. C.J McCollum was the player of the game, as he tallied 33 points, four rebounds and five assists on 12 - of - 19 shooting, Damian Lillard also played well, accumulating 18 points, four rebounds and five assists of his own. The bench was a nice spark, as Evan Turner, Meyers Leonard and Allen Crabbe all scored at least 14 points. The Trail Blazers will stay on the road for their next game, as they travel to New York to face the Knicks on Tuesday. This marks Brooklyn's (4 - 9) fourth - straight loss and a once promising season is turning into an ugly one. Brook Lopez did all he could to keep the Nets hanging around, as he scored a team - high 21 points on 8 - of - 14 shooting. He also provided six rebounds and four assists, as he was a perfect 7 - of - 7 in the first half to score 17 of his 21 points. Trevor Booker was second on the team, totaling 16 points and four rebounds on 7 - of - 9 shooting. The backcourt really struggled, as Isaiah Whitehead and Sean Kilpatrick combed to go just 3 - of - 19 from the field. Brooklyn will be off until Wednesday, when they host the Boston Celtics for their next game.
