The Blazers guard looked strong in the first half against the Clippers but fizzled in the second half of a blowout loss.

Trail Blazers rising star Scoot Henderson had a game to remember against the Nets, making franchise history along the way.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson’s shot was on point Tuesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. He drove for a dunk, had a put-back dunk, hit a floater and a short jumper, and nailed many three-pointers. Wide-open threes, contested threes, step-back threes, ill-advised threes. It didn’t matter the variety. Almost all of them went in.

Despite losing by an 18-point deficit, Portland's 20-year-old Scoot Henderson dropped in a career-high 39 points against the Nets last night.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson has not met expectations over his first two seasons. But, a breakout performance against the Nets might be a turning point for the Blazers’ future floor general.

The second-year guard established career-highs in points (39), field goals (13), and 3-pointers (eight), shooting 13-of-18 from the field and 5-of-8 from the foul line. Henderson was also responsible for four rebounds, six assists, and two steals in what qualifies as the best performance of his young NBA career.
