Wes Matthews was a +18 on the floor for the Blazers last night, a key catalyst in Portland's 5th straight win last night over Detroit. Greg Monroe was responsible for 22 of Detroit's 40 points from their starters. Gordon Hayward led Utah in minutes during their upset of the Tony Parker-less Spurs, but was -3 for the evening.
