The Trail Blazers made their first seven 3-pointers against Charlotte and from there it almost seemed too easy. "Making shots is contagious," said Wesley Matthews, who had 25 points, including five of Portland's 21 3-pointers, in a 134-104 rout of the Bobcats on Thursday night. The 21 3-pointers matched a franchise high, set in a 139-105 victory at the Philadelphia 76ers on Dec. 14, and made Portland the first NBA team to have two games in one season with at least 20 3-pointers. Damian Lillard 24 points, making all six of his 3-point tries, and the Blazers finished by making 63.6 percent of their 33 attempts. The NBA record for 3-pointers in a single game is 23. "It was a lot of fun," said Lillard, who has made at least four 3-pointers in four straight games. Shots were falling. Chris Douglas-Roberts came off the bench to lead the Bobcats with a season-high 20 points. The 21 3s were the most the Bobcats had ever allowed in franchise history. "Our team is thinking too much about offense, we have individual guys who need to build their games around their defense and they're worried about they're offense," Bobcats first-year coach Steve Clifford said. We're not built that way. We're not going to be outscoring people. If we're not going to commit to defense and rebounding, then we're limited in how good we can be. Matthews led all scorers with 17 points, while Jefferson had 11 for Charlotte. Matthews said he's just taking the shots that are there. "I'm trying to focus on everything but shooting and it seems to be paying off for me," he said. "These are the games you love playing," said Williams, who had 15 points and 10 assists. I knew about our record, I knew about the NBA record. But I didn't want to get caught up in that," Stotts said. If we fell into it, then that's great, but I thought the guys who played in the fourth quarter played the game the right way. They were aggressive, they moved the ball. Defensively, they played hard. I think it's bad karma to go out and try to do that. Clifford also rested most of his starters late in the game. "I don't feel we were ready to play," Douglas-Roberts said. They're too good not to come out and give a 100 percent effort. We kind of have to do some soul-searching and turn this thing around.
