The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Orlando Magic, 112 - 103, at Amway Center on Thursday night. The arrival of Jusuf Nurkic is certainly an important development, but the Blazers' (24 - 33) offense undeniably runs through the prolific backcourt duo of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. The dynamic pair combined for 55 of Portland's 112 points to spearhead the road win, and the visitors used stellar shooting (51 percent overall, 47 percent from long range) to overcome 19 turnovers. It was a come - from - behind victory for the Blazers, as they'd trailed the Magic (21 - 38) by a 55 - 46 margin at halftime. They were particularly spectacular in the final quarter, as they outscored Orlando, 35 - 18, over the final 12 minutes. Lillard's 33 points paced Portland, a total that he supplemented with five boards and two assists. McCollum followed with 22 points, six assists, one rebound, two steals and one block. Nurkic and Maurice Harkless contributed matching 12 - point efforts, with the former also hauling in 12 boards, dishing out five assists, recording three steals and posting a pair of blocks, and the latter supplying six rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal. Shabazz Napier led the second unit with 10 points, seven rebounds, six assists and two steals. Nikola Vucevic led the way for the Magic with 25 points, nine rebounds, two assists and one block. Evan Fournier contributed 20 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal. Terrence Ross, drawing his first start in an Orlando uniform, tallied 13 points, five rebounds, one assist and three steals. Aaron Gordon went for a near double - double, providing nine points, nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks. Mario Hezonja spearheaded the bench with 10 points, two assists, one rebound and one steal. The Blazers next head north to take on the Toronto Raptors on Sunday afternoon, while Orlando remains home to tangle with the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday evening.
