PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Damian Lillard had 23 points and the Portland Trail Blazers got revenge for a loss to Utah the night before with a 105-99 victory Saturday night.
Utah defeated the Blazers 86-77 on Friday night in the first game of the back-to-back between the division rivals.
J.J. Hickson added 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Blazers, who have won four of their last six after a season-high six-game losing streak. Nicolas Batum had 12 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, falling just short of his third triple-double this season.
Randy Foye had 23 points for the Jazz (26-22), who led by as many as 10 points in the third quarter.
