GAME PREVIEW
Mar 09, 2020Aron Baynes figures to receive plenty of attention when the Phoenix Suns visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night.The 33-year-old center turned in the performance of a lifetime against Portland last Friday when he established career bests of 37 points and nine 3-pointers as the Suns earned a 127-117 win in Phoenix.Baynes, who was starting in place of center Deandre Ayton (ankle), also collected 16 rebounds in the stellar outing. Making it more stunning was that coach Monty Williams didn't even summon him to enter the previous game against the Toronto Raptors."It can be funny in the NBA like that," Baynes told reporters. "Night to night, it can be completely different. One thing we've done well as a team is a next-man-up mentality. If you go out there and play within Monty's system, he usually puts you in places to succeed." Baynes remained hot two nights later when he followed up with 24 points and four 3-pointers on Sunday in Phoenix's impressive 140-131 home victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.Now he looks to help Phoenix defeat Portland for the third straight time after the Blazers won the previous 11 encounters.And Portland certainly will be closely observing where he is on the court after being stunned by his Friday shooting splurge."You expect him to make some threes, but you don't expect him to make that many," Portland coach Terry Stotts told reporters.Baynes has made 58 3-pointers this season after entering the season with just 25 makes in his first seven seasons combined. He also is averaging career bests of 11.6 points and 5.7 rebounds.Baynes was one of four Phoenix players to top 20 points in the win over the Bucks, who were missing reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo because of a knee injury.Shooting guard Devin Booker scored 20 of his 36 points in the first quarter as the Suns opened the contest with a 47-point stanza. Booker finished 13 of 17 from the field -- including 4 of 6 from 3-point range -- and also recorded eight assists.Point guard Ricky Rubio recorded 25 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists for his seventh career triple-double, and forward Mikal Bridges scored 21 points and 10 rebounds."You could just tell right from the start of the game," Booker said afterward. "The energy, the aura around the locker room and the passion everyone showed. Even when we were up a lot, we are playing the right way, and when they make a run, we are playing the right way." The Suns are a distant six games behind the Memphis Grizzlies for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. But suddenly, they are just 1 1/2 games behind the Trail Blazers, who have been on the decline with eight losses in the past 11 games.The Blazers were soundly beaten 123-111 by the Sacramento Kings on Saturday in the opener of a six-game homestand. The Kings tied a franchise record with 21 3-pointers and were comfortably ahead 77-54 at halftime while snapping a 12-game losing streak in Portland."I thought we played like a team that was coming home," Trail Blazers star guard Damian Lillard said of his team's poor effort. "It was like we were counting on being on our home floor to kind of go in our direction and they came out aggressive, in attack mode on fire, and jumped out to a big lead. We had a hard time getting back into it." It was a devastating setback that dropped Portland nine games below .500, and the club's 4 1/2-game deficit behind the Grizzlies is looking pretty hefty when you consider the Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, San Antonio Spurs and perhaps the Suns are all in the mix."We didn't play like a desperate team, a team fighting for a playoff spot," Stotts told reporters. "It's tough to win in this league, much less when you don't compete as hard as you can. I thought the second half we played hard, but the deficit was too big." Lillard had a rare poor outing, scoring 12 points on 4-of-15 shooting, including 2-of-10 accuracy from 3-point range.--Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Mar 11, 2020PORTLAND, Ore. Damian Lillard had 25 points and the Portland Trail Blazers got a much-needed 121-105 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night.The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Blazers, who were among several teams vying to pull in front of Memphis for the eighth playoff spot in the West.The Blazers face the Grizzlies on Thursday."They're the team that we're chasing. Sixteen games left," Lillard said. “So it's a game on our home floor, a game that we are more than capable of winning. We've just got to come prepared, come sharp and get it done. That's what it comes down to.”Trevor Ariza and CJ McCollum had 22 points apiece and Hassan Whiteside added 16 points and 14 rebounds for Portland.Lillard's 3-pointer put Portland up 119-101 with 1:37 left and sealed the win. Lillard finished with five 3s and had seven assists.The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for the Suns, who were led by Devin Booker with 29 points. Dario Saric added 22 points and 11 rebounds.“They hit shots, they hit shots and we missed some,” Booker said. “We kept fighting and I'm proud of this team for that. That's never been a question or problem for us.”Cameron Johnson missed his third straight game for the Suns because of mononucleosis. Deandre Ayton was questionable, but missed his third straight game with a left ankle sprain.Carmelo Anthony's pull-up jumper gave the Blazers an early 26-15 lead. Portland led by as many as 12 points, but the Suns closed the gap in the second quarter, pulling within 44-40 on Saric's 3 pointer.Booker's jumper put Phoenix ahead 49-48 with 4:23 left before the half but the Blazers had a 54-53 edge at the break.Phoenix rallied in the third, going up 63-60 on Aron Baynes' basket. Portland again reclaimed the lead and went into the final period ahead 82-78.Lillard's 3-pointer midway through the fourth gave Portland a 101-88 lead. The Blazers led by as many as 18 points in the last quarter.Afterward, Suns coach Monty Williams was upset about what he felt were calls his team should have gotten.“I'm more concerned with the lack of foul calling for our guys. I'm just like over it. I've watched (Booker) hit the floor over and over and over again, “ Williams said. ”That was a pretty physical game and there were 17 fouls called on them and 16 fouls called on us in a 48 minute game." The two teams had met just last week in Phoenix with the Suns winning 127-117. Baynes had nine of the Suns' 19 3-pointers and finished with 37 points.The Suns had another 19 3s on Sunday in a 140-131 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. They finished with 11 on Tuesday.“Coming off the game we had in Phoenix, it was obvious we wanted to come back and show a lot more resistance, in a game that we really needed,” Lillard said. “To try and make this final push for the playoffs, we had to have this one.”It was the first game with both new rules in place that included closing the locker rooms to reporters after the game because of coronavirus.There were more empty seats than usual at Moda Center, and a couple of fans jokingly wore hazmat suits. The game ball was not passed down through the stands by fans before the game, a normal pre-game ritual.“We had a presentation with our doctors last week. Our guys have tried to be on top of trying to keep the germs down even before this outbreak, with giving guys antibacterial stuff on the plane and the bus, that kind of thing," Williams said. "I just listen to the information and try to do the best I can to keep myself as clean as I can. It's a new normal for us.”TIP INSSuns: Assistant coach Steve Blake had three different stints with the Trail Blazers as a player. ... Ricky Rubio finished with 21 points and was 11-of-11 from the free-throw line. ... Booker and Rubio each had nine assists. It was their fourth straight game with eight-plus apiece.Trail Blazers: Portland was looking forward to the return of big man Jusuf Nurkic, who could make his season debut on Sunday. Nurkic has been recovering from a broken leg. ... Whiteside had his 51st double-double of the season. ... The Blazers were coming off a 123-111 loss at home to Sacramento on Saturday.UP NEXTThe Suns visit the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday.The Trail Blazers host Memphis on Thursday.---More NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/-Sports
