Portland gets 95-85 OT win over Rockets
Ancora una prova maiscuola del rookie Lillard
James Harden received plenty of praise for his outstanding performance over the season's first two games. After going into an offensive funk and making a critical defensive error that arguably cost his team a victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, Harden will likely hear a different form of feedback.
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 27 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Nicolas Batum netted all 17 of his points, collected five steals and blocked two shots after halftime and rookie Damian Lillard added 20 points, nine assists and six boards as the Blazers (2-1) spoiled Harden and Jeremy Lin's Toyota Center debut with a 95-85 overtime victory. Harden led Houston (2-1) with 24 points on 8-for-24 shooting, while Lin finished with 13 points, seven assists and three steals.
Portland won 95-85.
