PORTLAND, Oregon Bam Adebayo scored 22 points and Jimmy Butler added 20 to lead the Miami Heat to a 107-98 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night (Monday, Manila time).
The Heat, who have won six of their last seven games, led by as many as 20 points early in the fourth quarter.
CJ McCollum and Norman Powell each finished with 17 points for the Blazers, who were hurt by 17 turnovers. Damian Lillard had just 12 on an off night when he made just three shots from the field, all 3-pointers.
The Heat were without Victor Oladipo indefinitely because of right knee soreness. Oladipo, acquired by the Heat on March 25 in a trade with Houston, was injured in the fourth quarter of Miami s victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday.

LOS ANGELES Marcus Morris Sr. scored a season-high 33 points, Paul George added 32 and the Los Angeles Clippers capped a nine-game homestand with a 131-124 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night (Monday, Manila time).
George has three straight 30-point games despite dealing with a nagging toe injury. He had six points during the fourth quarter as the Clippers rallied for their fifth straight win.
Morris, who was five points shy of tying his career high, made six 3-pointers and went over 1,000 for his career.
Los Angeles was missing Kawhi Leonard, who sat out to rest as the Clippers were playing their third game in four nights. Everyone else picked up the slack though as they had seven players in double figures.
