By HD. The Portland Trail Blazers were worn out. A bad loss after a comeback by the Lakers to lose by 4, they were looking to bounce back tonight. They did, defeating the Washington Wizards, 111-76. Here's what happened......
The Blazers down early, 14-12, but went on a 18-6 run to retake a 30-20 lead and then never trailed ever again in the game taking a big 62-45 lead at the half.
Gerald Wallace was the leading scorer in the game with 28 points with 8 rebounds, 3 AST., and 4 steals.
Most importantly, 5 Blazers scored in double figures, Wallace had 28, Nicolas Batum had 22, LaMarcus Aldridge also added 22, Wesley Matthews had 15, and Rudy Fernandez had 10 points.
Another guy that showed a lot of skills in this game was Chris Johnson. It's exactly what guys should do when they get their chance. Johnson had 7 points, 2 dunks and a 3 point play.
Marcus Camby sat out tonight, due to a sprained Ankle, but he should be back by Friday vs. The Spurs. By the way, today was his birthday.
Now, it was a huge win because the Blazers are now just a game out of Denver for 5th in the West, but Im not to sure if we want to face Oklahoma City in the first round. They are a great young team.
The Blazers are still in 6th in th West, now a game ahead of New Orleans.
John Wall led the Wizards with 9 points, 3 rebounds, 7 AST., and 3 steals. The Wizards will go to the 2nd worst in the East at 17-52 and 1-32 on the road.
