This season she broke the NCAA career record for most tri- ple doubles, reaching eight. She currently leads the league with an average of 19.2 points and 7.8 assists per game. Ionescu won Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors last year. “Sabrina sets the tone for us,” Oregon coach Kelly Graves in a statement Tuesday. “Her consis- tency, competitiveness and will- ingness to take the big shot are unmatched. She’s the engine that makes us go.” The sixth-ranked Ducks are the top seed in this weekend’s Pac-12 tournament in Seattle.

Sacramento has dropped 10 straight games at Port- land’s Moda Center. With just 18 wins, Sacra- mento is in second-to-last place in the West, above only the Phoe- nix Suns. The Kings have lost four straight and six of their last seven. “We gave ourselves a chance multiple times tonight but when you have a team that’s played with each other for a while, when things get chaotic and you need to settle down they know where to get the ball and they do a great job of that,” Kings veteran Vince Carter said. The Kings were playing the sec- ond of a back-to-back, after losing to Minnesota 118-100 on Monday night. Randolph sat out that game but returned against the Blazers. Randolph played six seasons in Portland. Lillard had scored 197 points in the past five games, the most points for a Blazer over a five-game stretch in franchise history. He had 15 points and five assists in the opening quarter against the Kings, including three 3-pointers, to give Portland a 36-26 lead. He was up to 19 points by the half, when the Blazers led 66-53. SCHEDULE THE DAILY ASTORIAN L UP NEXT: BLAZERS PORTLAND — Damian Lil- lard did not hesitate when asked about how well the Portland Trail Blazers have been playing recently. “It’s the best place I think we’ve been in years,” he said. Lillard had 26 points and 12 assists, and the Blazers won their fourth straight with a 116-99 vic- tory over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night. Jusuf Nurkic added 17 points and nine rebounds for Portland, which sits in fifth place in the West- ern Conference — a game back of San Antonio — after winning five of its last six games. The current four-game winning streak matched the team’s longest of the season. “We can’t be satisfied with SCOREBOARD A SOCHI, Russia — Russia’s ban from the Olympic movement was lifted on Wednesday despite two failed doping tests by its athletes at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. The decision by the Interna- tional Olympic Committee appears to be an attempt to draw a line under the state-concocted dop- ing scandal that tarnished the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. The IOC allowed more than 160 athletes it determined were clean to compete in Sochi as “Olympic Ath- letes from Russia” in Pyeongchang earlier this month with a prohibi- tion on the national anthem or flag in venues. Russia’s hopes of marching under its flag at Sunday’s closing ceremony in South Korea were sty- mied by the two positive tests for banned substances, including a curler who had to forfeit his bronze medal. But the IOC said Wednes- day that all remaining test results were negative, clearing the path for Russia’s return to the Olympic fold. “Therefore, as stated in the exec- utive board decision of 25th Febru- ary, the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee is automati- cally lifted with immediate effect,” the IOC said in a statement. Russian athletes won two gold medals in Pyeongchang, in figure skating and ice hockey, along with six silver medals and nine bronze. “I would like to thank our ath- letes who were able to perform well even despite the provoca- tions,” Russian Olympic Commit- tee President Alexander Zhukov said in quotes carried by the TASS news agency. “I thank the fans who did not cross the line and what could result in sanctions. Today’s IOC’s decision is very important for us. The ROC is an absolutely full-fledged member of the Olym- pic family.” Russia also complied with its financial sanctions last week by paying $15 million to pay for the IOC’s two investigations into the scheme and toward future anti-dop- ing work.
