Through 3 Quarters

Down two at the end of last quarter, the Portland Trail Blazers have now snagged the lead. It’s still tight after three quarters, with Rip City leading 82-78 over the Miami Heat.

The Trail Blazers have been riding high on the performance of shooting guard Anfernee Simons, who has shot 6-for-12 from beyond the arc and has recorded 25 points and seven assists. One thing to keep an eye out for is Jusuf Nurkic’s foul situation as he currently sits at four.

Small forward Caleb Martin has led the way so far for Miami, as he has 26 points in addition to eight boards. Martin is close to surpassing his season high of 28.

The Heat haven’t lost 81% of the games in which they were down heading into the final period this season, so a win here would be refreshing.
