The Portland Trail Blazers ( 27 - 8 ) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers ( 11 - 24 ) 98 - 94 on Monday at the Moda Center in Portland . In a surprisingly even showing , the Trail Blazers were just barely able to sneak out the win against a Lakers team that came into this matchup losing seven of their last 10 . The Blazers were able to use a strong fourth quarter though , out - scoring the Lakers 28 - 21 , therefore securing the win in front of the home crowd Monday . Like has been the case so many times this season already , Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge led the Blazers to this victory . Lillard went 12 - for - 21 from the floor and 4 - for - 8 from the three - point line to score a game - high of 39 points , while also adding six rebounds and five assists . He was also able to convert on 11 - of - 13 attempts at the free throw line , as he consistently forced his way to the line . Aldridge on the other hand went 8 - for - 20 from the field and 1 - for - 1 from the three - point line to score 21 points , while grabbing eight rebounds . Over his last six games , he 's averaging 26 points , so he continues to be extremely effective for the Blazers . The only other player to reach double figures in points was Meyers Leonard , who went a surprising 4 - for - 5 from the floor and 3 - for - 4 from beyond the arc to score 12 points . He pulled in 12 rebounds as well , giving him hist first double - double of the year . With Kobe Bryant sitting this one out , starting center Jordan Hill rode the hot hand , finishing with 23 points ( 10 - 15 FG , 3 - 4 FT ) and 14 rebounds . The 23 points matched a season - high for Hill , while the double - double was his thirteenth of the year . Wayne Ellington filled in as the starting shooting guard and finished with 13 points ( 5 - 12 FG , 2 - 3 3Pt , 1 - 1 FT ) and five rebounds . He played a lot more minutes than normal , and seemingly cashed in on the extra time with a solid overall game . Coming off the bench Jeremy Lin had 14 points ( 5 - 10 FG , 0 - 2 3Pt , 4 - 6 FT ) . He 's played well of late , averaging 15 points over his last three games . Nick Young struggled with his shot in this one , going only 3 - for - 13 from the field and 1 - for - 4 from the three - point line to score 11 points . The Trail Blazers ' next game will be at home against the Miami Heat on Thursday , while the Lakers will be the away team against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday .
