Blazers without three rotation players beat Detroit 110-92 to move to 10-1 at home this season and 11-11 overall. Ben McLemore had his pretty jumper going (17 points in 18 mins) and CJ McCollum moved into 5th in franchise scoring (Drexler, Lillard, Porter, Aldridge, McCollum). – 12:31 AM

This is one of Detroit’s ugliest games of the season. Other than Cade, no one can make a shot. Blazers are making it look easy without Lillard – 11:50 PM
