The Portland Trail Blazers ( 11 - 15 ) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans ( 6 - 18 ) 105 - 101 on Monday night . In a tightly contested game , the Blazers simply made more plays late than the Pelicans to pull out a big win . The teams both shot 44 percent from the field , but the big differences were on the glass and the ball movement . The Trail Blazers outrebounded the Pelicans 50 - 41 and outassisted them 28 to 15 . The starting units were also a difference - maker , as Portland 's starters scored 73 points to New Orleans 58 points . The Pelicans have had a rough season and the defense continues to let them down . They still rank dead - last in points allowed and struggle at rebounding as well . They are also 1 - 12 on the road this season , so that does n't help their cause much either . Anthony Davis led the team with 28 points , nine rebounds and five blocks in the loss . Tyreke Evans also had another impressive outing , as he tallied 19 points , 12 rebounds , five assists and four steals . The talent is clearly there , but they simply need to play better defense if they want to win some games . New Orleans will play the offensively - challenged Utah Jazz on Wednesday and will look to get their defense going then . The Blazers continue to be led by point guard Damian Lillard and he is single - handedly carrying this team to victories right now . Tonight , he dropped 30 points while making 11 - of - 12 free throws . Mason Plumlee also had a great game , as he tallied 15 points , 13 rebounds , and six assists in the win . This is what they need , as the frontcourt has been subpar all season . This is an exciting team to watch with their guard - play , but it 's not the recipe to win NBA games when they have no dominant post presence . Portland will look to build off this win when they play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday .
