Blazers shooting 34.8% from the floor and outrebounded in the first half. Whatever happens in the second half, they did what they needed to do and got a split in Phoenix with Lillard and Simons out. Just write this one off and get ready for Miami on Monday. – 11:12 PM

For two months it felt like it was just a matter of time for Clemson. Syracuse should’ve gotten them but the orange caught lemon booty. Notre Dame didn’t – 10:33 PM

Watching Notre Dame absolutely dominate Clemson in person has been a top five sports experience for me. What an amazing night. pic.twitter.com/7PF9kKgh1O – 10:25 PM

#Blazers coach Chauncey Billups said he’s sticking with same starting lineup as Damian Lillard (calf) and Anfernee Simons (foot) are out again tonight.
“No timeline, both guys are getting better every day.” #Suns – 8:34 PM
