Nicolas Batum scored 22 points, making five of six 3-point attempts, and the Portland Trail Blazers won their fourth straight with a 109-98 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night.

“(Batum) got back to focusing on the defensive end of the floor and the offense, he allowed the offense to come to him," said Nate McMillan. "I felt like in the last week or so, he’s pressing to match that (career-high in scoring) performance in Minnesota. He allowed the game to just come to him. He’s going to get open shots just because who he’s on the floor with."

LaMarcus Aldridge added 22 points and 12 rebounds, with eight of those being offensive rebounds, for the Trail Blazers, who have won nine of 11.

"I think half of my shots tonight were off of offensive rebounds," said Aldridge, who scored 16 points in the first half. "I felt like they were trying to key in on Brandon so much tonight because he had killed them up there, so every time they shot it, I was just trying to go to the boards. Most of the time I was just open so I just tried to finish.”

Brandon Roy had 20 points, five assists and two rebounds. Andre Miller added 13 points, seven rebounds and five assists as well. All five Trail Blazers starters scored in double figures.
