PETERSON Associated Press NBA PORTLAND — Jusuf Nurkic had 20 points for his fourth straight game with 20 or more and the Port- land Trail Blazers beat the New York Knicks 111-101 on Monday night. Damian Lillard added 17 points and nine assists for Portland, which has won four of fi ve. CJ McCo- llum also had 17 points. Enes Kanter came off the bench with 18 points and 14 rebounds for his third straight double-dou- ble for the Knicks, who have lost nine of 10. Portland New York 111 101 The teams played a lack- luster fi rst half, but Portland pulled away in the third quarter, stretching the lead to 18 points at one point. The Blazers led 54-53 at halftime. The top scorer at the break was Mario Hezonja, who had 12 points off the bench for the Knicks. Jake Layman started for Portland in the second half and the team announced that Maurice Harkless wouldn’t return because of left knee soreness. The Blazers started to pull away in the third quar- ter, jumping to a 65-55 lead. But they were stung when Nurkic collected his fourth foul and had to head for the bench with 6:14 left in the period. Still, Portland had the momentum and went up 80-67 after Lillard’s 3-pointer. Nurkic fi nished with eight rebounds, shy of his 21st double-double of the season.
