As one of the younger teams in the NBA, the Blazers have made strides this year, but they’re still far from ready to compete with playoff-level competition on a regular basis.

The Blazers won Sunday in Chicago, 113-102. Shaedon Sharpe led Portland with 23 points. That snapped a 5-game losing streak for the Blazers. Miami knocked off the Spurs Sunday at home, 128-107, behind 25 points from rookie Kel ‘El Ware.

Anfernee Simons scored 24 points, Deandre Ayton had 22 points and 15 rebounds, and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Miami Heat 116-107 on Tuesday night. Jerami Grant finished with 18 points and Deni Avdija added 16 for the Blazers, who lost by 60 the last time they played in Miami on March 29.
