Washington was eliminated from the playoffs more than two weeks ago. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">Having already clinched a play-in spot in the playoffs, Portland was playing the last of a 3-1 homestand. The Blazers <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/mavericks-trail-blazers-score-ce55bceaf2aa5fac0c24e1eb812e47ce\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fell 100-93 to the Mavericks<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">Jerami Grant did not play for Portland because of a calf strain. He was replaced in the starting lineup by Henderson. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">Leaky Black and Bilal Coulibaly were questionable going into the game but started for the Wizards. Washington remained without Trae Young, who missed his seventh game with lower back pain and a right quad contusion. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">The shorthanded Wizards were also without Anthony Davis (left finger), Kyshawn George (left elbow), Tre Johnson (right foot), Cam Whitmore (right shoulder) and Alex Sarr (left big toe).<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">It was a sloppy game from the start. Portland led by as many as 13 points early but Washington tied the game at 34 on Bub Carrington\u2019s 3-pointer. The Wizards couldn\u2019t pull in front and the Blazers finished the half on a 13-4 run to take a 58-47 lead at the break. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">Portland made just six of 19 3-point attempts in the opening half, while the Wizards made three of 16. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">Portland stretched its lead to 73-52 in the third quarter after Camara\u2019s layup. Blazers coach Tiago Splitter pulled his starters early in the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">The final margin tied Portland\u2019s largest margin of victory this season. <\/p>\n<p>Up Next<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">The Wizards visit the Lakers on Monday. The Blazers visit the Clippers on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">___<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">AP NBA: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/nba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/nba<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toumani Camara scored 23 points and the Portland Trail Blazers routed the Washington Wizards 123-88 on Sunday.
