Anfernee Simons Explodes For Career-High 45 Points
2 years agoPortland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons had the night of his life Saturday versus Utah, scoring a career-high 45 points in a 116-111 win. He was red-hot from deep, going 7-for-12, and shot 15-for-25 overall from the field with an 8-for-8 record at the charity stripe. Simons also managed two rebounds, four assists one steal and two blocks with seven turnovers in 41 minutes. It was a spectacular scoring performance as Simons even had 33 points in the first half alone. The 23-year-old will likely slow down significantly Sunday versus Indiana, with Damian Lillard (calf) returning, but Simons is having a very good campaign and should still play a large role offensively. He's been getting 24.8 points per game for the season with 3.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
