“I just be trying to bust that ass. That’s about it,” said Ayton. “Whether I look like the bad guy or not, I’m trying to be great. I’m trying to be a winner in this league. I’m trying to be known as that guy. If you’re around me, you’re going to learn how to win.”

Ayton makes the first, misses the second but Toumani saves the loose ball from going out of bounds, gets it to Ayton, then Simons, who is able to burn some clock then make two free throws to gives the Blazers a 106-102 lead with 3.8 seconds to play. – 12:21 AM
