Damian Lillard had 17 points and nine assists before sitting out the fourth quarter, and the Portland Trail Blazers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 114-95 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night in Portland.

Russell Westbrook scored 20, well off his league-leading average of 31.1 points a game for the Thunder, who have lost two of three after a six-game winning streak.

Mason Plumlee added 18 points for Portland, which led by 26 in its first game back after a 1-4 trip. Six Trail Blazers finished in double figures in the second of back-to-back games. The team was coming off a hard-fought 121-120 loss to the Clippers on Monday night at Staples Center that extended its longest losing streak this season.

The Thunder were without Victor Oladipo because of a right wrist sprain.
