PORTLAND, Ore. -- While Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum didnt have their usual offensive outburst against Miami, they both got baskets when it mattered.Lillard scored 19 points and McCollum had 17, including a pair of late baskets, to rally the Portland Trail Blazers to a 99-92 victory over the Heat on Saturday night.We just find a way, Lillard said. Youve got to gut one out like that. Find a way when your offense isnt there. I think that shows great character for our team and it shows growth.Hassan Whiteside had 28 points and 16 rebounds for the Heat, who missed out on their first three-game winning streak of the season.Whitesides follow shot put the Heat ahead 91-85, but McCollum made a 3-pointer with 2:57 left and Maurice Harkless free throws narrowed the gap to 91-90 with 2:26 remaining.Wayne Ellington hit a free throw for Miami, but McCollum converted a layup and Harkless banked in a jumper to give Portland a 94-92 lead.McCollum added a jumper with just under a minute left and Portland held on for the win, outscoring the Heat 14-1 in the final 2:57.Harkless also scored 17 points for Portland, which has won three of four.The Heat, at 7-13, have struggled at times following Dwyane Wades departure for the Chicago Bulls after 13 seasons in Miami.Youd like to go 3-0 but anytime you go positive on a road trip its a motivation, Whiteside said, noting the Heat went 2-1 on the three-game swing. We can build on this.Miami also is grappling with injuries. The team announced before the game that forward Luke Babbitt would not play because of a hip flexor. He joined forward Justise Winslow (wrist), guard Dion Waiters (groin) and Josh Richardson (ankle) on Miamis injured list and left the Heat with only 10 players available for the game.Ellington, appearing in hiss fourth game since returning from a deep thigh bruise, made his first start for the Heat.dddddddddddd He finished with 12 points.Meyers Leonards alley-oop dunk from Evan Turner gave the Blazers a 73-68 lead late in the third quarter.

Defense is really a priority for us now.TIP-INSHeat: The team ate on Friday night at 23Hoyt, the Portland restaurant that is partly owned by Miami coach Erik Spoelstra. Spoelstra grew up in Portland, and played for the Portland Pilots. ... The Heat had three technical fouls in the first half.Trail Blazers: Following Saturday nights game, Portland heads out on a five-game road trip. ... McCollum missed a foul shot in the third quarter, snapping a run of 30 consecutive made free throws.WINNING TRIPSpoelstra said the positive road trip wouldnt sink in until later.By the time we get on the plane Im sure well feel that way, but right now it stings, he said. You get up six and we really started to clamp down against a very dynamic, talented, well-schooled and experienced offensive team. They bring a lot at you but our guys were not backing off and making it as tough as possible.KEEPING IT UNDER 100It was just the third game this season that Portland has kept its opponent under 100 points -- demonstrating again the renewed commitment to defense. The Blazers are 3-0 in those games.UP NEXTHeat: Host the New York Knicks on Tuesday.Trail Blazers: Visit the Chicago Bulls on Monday.
