Norman Powell Pours In 23 Points
4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell scored 23 points in a losing effort to the Clippers on Tuesday. Powell tallied three assists, three treys, one rebound, and a steal in 39 minutes of action. He connected on 50 percent of his field-goal attempts, though his struggles from three-point land continued, as he shot just 3 of 10 from that range. Teammate C.J. McCollum is also in the midst of a slump from downtown, as the Trail Blazers have lost four of their last five. Perhaps the return of Damian Lillard (hamstring) will improve the team's floor-spacing, opening up better looks for Powell in the process. His Wednesday matchup is favorable, as the Nuggets have allowed the 11th-most three-pointers made to small forwards.
