The Wrap-Up: Portland hold off Toronto and Blake is the new Nash
Keith Firmin brings you The Wrap-Up on all of last night’s NBA games including, Steve Blake’s 16 assists and Rudy Gay’s clutch bucket.
Portland @ Toronto
The Blazers led through three quarters but Rudy Gay’s driving lay-up, just two of his game-high 30 points, at the end of regulation extended the contest to overtime, where Portland regained their composure and claimed the win, 118-110. LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard had 25 points apiece while DeRozan supported Gay with 29 points. Freeland was a +11 in just over 12 minutes.
