Portland won for the fourth time in five games. The Blazers entered December with a record of 11-11 and have gone 6-2 this month. “I thought it was the best defensive game of the year for him, in my opinion,” Portland coach Chauncey Billups said. “He was locked in, he was physical, he was talking. I’m more proud of him for that than the 32 points because he can do that most nights.”
The Rockets struggled from the field, especially from beyond the arc. Houston entered the fourth quarter 1 for 20 from long distance and finished the game 3 for 29. “We adjusted well on defense in the third quarter, we were a lot more aggressive, and I think that bothered them a lot,” Simons said. “That changed the game for us.”Trail Blazers: Jerami Grant was out with back spasms, Portland coach Chauncey Billups said before the game. … Justise Winslow had four steals.
