----- Jrue Holiday finishes with 22 points and six assists and Bobby Portis adds 21 points off the bench as the Milwaukee Bucks rout the Portland Trail Blazers Monday night at Fiserv Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
It didn't take long for the Milwaukee Bucks (12-8) to dispose of the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
Jrue Holiday scored 22 points and dished out six assists and Bobby Portis scored 21 points off the bench as the Bucks hammered the Blazers 134-106 at Fiserv Arena.
The Bucks took the lead in the first quarter and never looked back leading by as many as 39 points early in the fourth period.
''Obviously we really, really needed this win really, really bad,'' Portis said. ''We didn't want to drop three in a row. Us getting this win tonight was big.''
Milwaukee connected on 21-of-42 from three-point range.
Nassir Little played the best game of his young career. He scored a game-high 30 points for Portland (10-9) connecting on 5-of-7 from beyond-the-arc.
''It was a bright spot for tonight, for sure,'' Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. ''He shot the ball really well. Little has had a tough go the last few months. It was good to see him get out there and see the ball go in the basket, get some extended run.''
Up Next- The Trail Blazers will play their second of a back-to-back tomorrow in Washington D.C. against the Wizards. The game is scheduled to tip off at 5:00 PM.
Chad's Take- Well, at least Lillard only played 27 minutes.
