TORONTO —
With Damian Lillard
double-teamed, Carmelo
Anthony stepped up to
sink the game-winning
basket for the Portland
Trail Blazers.
Anthony made a
clutch shot with four
seconds remaining and
Portland rallied to beat
the Toronto Raptors 101-
99 Tuesday night.
“A guy with his type of
ability, it’s just a matter
of opportunity,” Lillard
said. “He had one guy
guarding him and he
got to his spot. Once
he got to his spot and
I saw him raising up, I
thought it was going in.”
Anthony scored 28
points, Lillard had 20
and Hassan Whiteside
added 14 points and 16
rebounds for his sixth
straight double-double
as the Trail Blazers
snapped a four-game
losing streak in Toronto
and won for the second
time in 10 meetings with
the defending champion
Raptors.
“This is a big confi -
dence booster for us,
a big morale boost,”
Anthony said.
Blazers coach Terry
Stotts agreed.
“I was really proud
of the way our team
competed tonight,
particularly in the fourth
quarter,” Stotts said.
