Lillard has 25 as Trail Blazers stun Thunder to snap skid

Damian Lillard scored 25 points to guide the Portland Trail Blazers to a 123-103 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night, halting Portland's two-game losing streak. Deni Avdija contributed 24 points, eight assists, and six rebounds, while Sidy Cissoko added 17 points in a starting role for the Blazers. The victory came in the first matchup of a back-to-back home set against Oklahoma City.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 26 points and eight rebounds, but did not play in the fourth quarter as Oklahoma City's four-game winning streak came to an end. Jared McCain added 21 points for the injury-depleted Thunder, who played without Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams. Nique Clifford also made his Oklahoma City debut after arriving via trade from Sacramento.
