Trail Blazers Edge Jazz 122-120 in Thriller

Scoot Henderson led the Portland Trail Blazers to a thrilling 122-120 victory over the Utah Jazz with a game-winning jumper with just 0.1 seconds remaining. Henderson finished the night with 18 points and 10 assists, marking his first double-double of the season, while Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe each contributed 27 points, playing crucial roles in the Blazers' comeback from a 15-point deficit. Lauri Markkanen spearheaded the Jazz's efforts with 25 points, but the team struggled defensively in the fourth quarter, yielding significant points at the rim. The win marked only the second for Portland in their last ten games. The Blazers' assistant coach Nate Bjorkgren stepped in for head coach Chauncey Billups, who was absent due to a family bereavement. This victory also avenged a previous heavy defeat to the Jazz earlier in the month.
