Blazers Rally Past Heat Behind Second-Half Burst
Portland used a 23-9 third-quarter run to turn a close game into a 127-110 win over Miami at the Moda Center, despite Deni Avdija leaving early with a back injury. Shaedon Sharpe scored 27 (24 after halftime), Caleb Love added 20, and Jrue Holiday 15 as the Blazers moved to 23-22. Bam Adebayo led the Heat with 32, but Miami struggled from long range (9-for-45) and finished with 27 assists. Portland’s offense featured strong 3-point shooting (8 players connected from deep) on 50 attempts. Next up: Portland hosts the Toronto Raptors.
