Anfernee Simons leads Trail Blazers to stunning win over Brooklyn Nets

Anfernee Simons scored 23 points and dished out a career-best 11 assists to lead the shorthanded Portland Trail Blazers to a 114-108 win over the Brooklyn Nets. Simons didn't shoot well but had the best floor game of his career in guiding the Blazers to a stunning upset win over Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and the Nets, who came into the game 14-3 on the road. Without Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum or Norman Powell in the lineup, Simons got help from Robert Covington (21 points) and Ben McLemore (17 points) to hold off a late charge and give Portland its third win in the last five games. Did someone say tanking? This was the most entertaining win, unexpected win of the season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
