Lanier finished with 40 points, 13 rebounds, and passed for 9 assists, nearly giving him his 5th triple-double of his career. Despite the win, and the complete game, Lanier is speaking of taking a sabbatical, similar to #BostonCeltics great #DaveCowens, who took a leave eight games into the 1976/77 season. For the #Blazers, who are in a virtual tie for the best record in the @NBA with a 23-11 record, #LionelHollins scored 20 points while #BillWalton and #LloydNeal combined for 29 points and 25 rebounds.
