Deni Avdija and Damian Lillard combined for 46 points, including 13 in an early 17-0 run, and the Portland Trail Blazers eased to a front-running, 112-90 victory over the Utah Jazz in a Halloween matinee Saturday afternoon in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n

Avdija finished with a game-high 24 points and Lillard had 22 as the Trail Blazers improved to 4-1, winning for the first time since losing star guard Ja Morant for likely the entire month of November with a strained left hamstring.<\/p>\n

Seeking to snap a three-game losing streak, the Jazz took an early 7-6 lead before finding themselves 16 points behind by the time they scored again.<\/p>\n

Avdija hit two free throws to put the spurt in motion, after which Lillard added three foul shots and a 3-pointer. Avdija later added a layup and a 3-pointer of his own, sandwiched by a short jumper and two free throws by Jrue Holiday.<\/p>\n

Outscoring the hosts 48-33 from beyond the arc and 34-21 at the free throw line, Portland went on to lead by as many as 28 points.<\/p>\n

Avdija helped account for the free throw disparity, making 10 of 13.<\/p>\n

Holiday finished with 14 points for the Trail Blazers, as did Toumani Camara and Scoot Henderson. Donovan Clingan chipped in with a game-high nine rebounds.<\/p>\n

Camara did almost all his scoring on 3-pointers, making four of nine. Lillard connected on three of 10 from deep while also finding time for a team-high four assists, two steals and a block.<\/p>\n

Portland\u2019s biggest lead came at 110-82 with 2:41 remaining. The Trail Blazers\u2019 90 points allowed came after they\u2019d given up an average of 124.3 in their previous three games.<\/p>\n

Darryn Peterson had 16 points to pace Utah, which shot just 37.2 percent overall and 27.5 percent on 3-pointers. The rookie also tied Keyonte George and Isaiah Collier for team-high assists with four.<\/p>\n

Lauri Markkanen added 13 points and Brice Sensabaugh 12 for the Jazz, who hadn\u2019t previously been held under 105 points this season.<\/p>\n

Jaxson Hayes and Ace Bailey shared team rebound honors with seven apiece.<\/p>\n
