Blazers lose in Sacramento
Basketball Betting Lines
02/03/2012 -
Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marcus Thornton returned from a four-game
absence and scored eight of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, lifting the
Sacramento Kings past the Portland Trail Blazers, 95-92.
Raymond Felton and Jamal Crawford both missed three-pointers in the final 10
seconds to seal the win for Sacramento.
John Salmons netted 19 points, Tyreke Evans had 18 and Jason Thompson recorded
a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Kings, who snapped a
five-game losing streak.
"It was a great crowd effort tonight and we played hard," Evans said.
LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 28 points and 14 rebounds for Portland, which
moved to 3-9 away from home compared to an impressive 10-1 mark at the Rose
Garden.
"We've had every opportunity the last (couple) road games and we're finding
ways to lose it," Crawford said.
Aldridge's layup tied the contest at 88 with 3:09 to play in the game, but the
Kings reeled off the next five points.
Salmons' jumper gave the Kings a two-point lead, and a bit later, following an
Evans turnover, Thornton made the play of the night as he blocked Felton's
layup on a 2-on-1 Portland fastbreak. The ball bounced off of Felton, giving
the ball back to Sacramento.
Thompson's layup made it 92-88 and Thornton hit 1-of-2 from the line on
Sacramento's next trip down the floor to make it a five-point game with 1:12
left.
It appeared that Evans' jumper -- which made it 95-90 -- from the top of the
key with 19.2 seconds left sealed the win for the Kings, but Aldridge's layup
and Wallace's steal gave the Blazers one final shot with 9.9 to play.
Felton's three-pointer from the left wing clanked off the rim, but Wesley
Matthews corralled the offensive rebound and dished to Crawford on the right
wing. His trey with 0.9 left was off the mark as well.
Aldridge netted 19 points in the opening half as the Blazers took a 56-47 lead
at halftime.
Portland shot just 25 percent and scored just 13 points in the third as
Sacramento took a 71-69 advantage into the fourth.
