McCollum helps Blazers
rout Hornets in 127-96 win
By ANNE M.
PETERSON
Associated Press
PORTLAND — CJ
McCollum had 30 points
and Damian Lillard scored
20 before resting in the
fourth quarter, and the Port-
land Trail Blazers routed
the Charlotte Hornets 127-
96 on Friday night.
Portland has won four
straight and six of seven
overall. It improved to 17-7
at home, tied for best in the
Western Conference.
The
victory
also
extended the Blazers’ win-
ning streak over the Hor-
nets in Portland to 11
straight games. Charlotte
hasn’t won in Portland

since 2008.
Kemba Walker had 18
points for the Hornets, who
fell to 5-14 on the road this
season in the fourth of a
fi ve-game trip.
Portland center Jusuf
Nurkic had 11 points, 11
rebounds and tied career
highs with eight assists and
six blocks before he also
went to the bench early in
the fourth. On a tear lately,
the Bosnian big man aver-
aged 21.4 points and 11.4
rebounds over the previous
eight games.
“The big fella’s been
awesome,” McCollum said.
Portland also got another
solid performance from
its reserves. Seth Curry’s
3-pointer extended Port-
land’s lead to 50-36. Jake
Layman’s alley-oop dunk
from Lillard put the Blazers
up 61-42.
Portland’s backups have
accounted for at least 50
points in six games this sea-
son, all Blazers wins. They
had 48 points against the
Hornets, but got extra work
because the starters were
rested.
Sabally scores 26 as No. 5
Oregon routs USC 93-53
By JOE REEDY
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES —
Satou Sabally scored 26
points and No. 5 Oregon
won its second straight
Pac-12 game by 40 points,
routing USC 93-53 on Fri-
day night.
Sabally was a point
away from tying her career
high, which she set ear-
lier this season against
UC Irvine. The sophomore
forward scored nine of
the Ducks’ fi rst 11 points
and Oregon never trailed.
The Ducks led by as many
as 42 late in the fourth
quarter.
Sabrina Ionescu added
17 points, Taylor Chavez
14 and Ruthy Hebard 12
for Oregon (14-1, 3-0 Pac-
12), which won its seventh
straight. The 40-point vic-
tory tied for the third-larg-
est win by the Ducks in

the 98-58 victory they had
last Sunday against Wash-

Aliyah Mazyck led
USC (10-5, 0-4) with 16
points and Ja’Tavia Tapley
added 13. Mariya Moore,
who scored a career high
36 points in last Sunday’s
loss at California, had 11
points.
The game was tied at 2
when the Ducks took con-
trol with a 9-1 run. Oregon
was 4 of 6 from the fi eld
while the Trojans were 0
of 7, including missing all
four from beyond the arc.
The Ducks were up
21-9 at the end of the fi rst
quarter and had a 41-19
lead at halftime. Oregon
was 16 of 32 from the fi eld
in the fi rst half and scored
23 points off 15 turnovers
by the Trojans, who made
just 4 of 21 from the fi eld
in the fi rst 20 minutes.
