Owner Real Deal Posted February 25, 2013 Author Owner Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21762194.jpg PORTLAND, Ore. -- The pain in his left leg barely tolerable, Trail Blazers guard Wesley Matthews hoped he wasn't asking for trouble with a step-back 3-pointer at the end of a close game against the Boston Celtics. "As I was stepping back, I was like, 'Oh, my God, what am I doing?' Matthews said. "Instincts take over there. That's mind over matter." The 3-pointer fell and Matthews finished with 24 points in Portland's 92-86 victory Sunday night which snapped a season-worst seven-game losing streak. J.J. Hickson's hook shot put the Blazers ahead 86-80, but a pair of reverse layups from Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass pulled the Celtics to 86-82 with 2:54 left. Kevin Garnett's layup with 1:46 to go tied it, but rookie Damian Lillard answered with his own layup and added a free throw to give Portland back the lead. Matthews, hobbled throughout the game by a lingering injury to his leg and ankle, hit the 3-pointer to give the Blazers the final margin with 53.9 seconds left.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20130224_BOS@POR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
