PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) --- Donovan Clingan had 20 points and 19 rebounds, Jerami
Grant had 29 points, and the Trail Blazers erased an 11-point second-half
deficit to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 122-115 on Saturday night and split a
two-game series in Portland.
Portland beat the Grizzlies 135-115 on Friday.
Jrue Holiday had 21 points and Caleb Love scored 17 points, 10 in the second
half, off the bench.
Olivier Maxence-Prosper (25 points) and Javon Small (22 points) each had career
nights for Memphis in the loss.
Portland's All-Star forward Deni Avdija missed his fourth straight game with a
lower back strain. Scoot Henderson also missed Saturday's game after making his
return from a torn hamstring on Friday.
Jahmai Mayshack's 3-pointer pushed the Memphis advantage to 104-97 before
Portland made its final push.
Vit Krejci, Toumani Camara and Love each hit a 3-pointer before Love stole the
ball and made a layup to give Portland a 108-107 lead with 5:59 left in the
game.
Javon Small's 3-pointer cut Portland's lead to a point about three minutes
later but Holiday answered with a layup before Grant made back-to-back 3s to
give the Trail Blazers a 120-113 lead with 1:51 left.
There were eight ties and 18 lead changes in the game.
