The former No. 2 overall pick <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/portland-trail-blazers/blazers-news-scoot-henderson-eye-opening-take-team-element-hot-streak">has played the best basketball career lately</a>, averaging 15.3 points and 5.8 assists on 49/45/83 shooting splits over his last 16 appearances.</p><p>Grant missed the team’s last two games before the All-Star break due to his knee ailment.

He recently covered the Phoenix Mercury for The Next Hoops and PHNX Sports.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Portland Trail Blazers and Scoot Henderson are on a roll right now. The team has 5 consecutive wins and has defeated some noteworthy teams. However, it’s not as much of a surprise for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-scoot-henderson-drops-dog-truth-bomb-amid-breakout-stretch">Henderson, as he gave a ‘dog’ truth bomb about his breakout season</a>.</p><p>Either way, the game of basketball isn’t predicated upon one person. It’s a team effort. Following the 112-89 win over the Indiana Pacers, Henderson had <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1887015047299301425" rel="noopener">quite the funny exchange</a> with the Blazers sideline reporter.</p><p>“Congratulations on your 5th straight win,” she said. “You guys say it’s all about togetherness. How together are you feeling right now?”</p><p>“Man, we’re together like white on rice,” Henderson exclaimed. “That’s how we’re playing and you can see it.”</p><p>When white rice is fully cooked, the color never slides out. Even if it’s overcooked, it keeps the color. Henderson is making that comparison with his team. They’re fully together and connected. The 22-29 record doesn’t look appealing, but the beginning of the season wasn’t either.</p><p>They’ve had an up-and-down season but are still a young team. Guys like Anfernee Simons and Donovan Clingan are only scratching the surface, along with Henderson. They’re a competitive, young team that has plenty of upside, as evidenced by the 5-game winning streak.</p><h2><b>Scoot Henderson loves the Blazers 5-game winning streak</b></h2><p>No one likes losing in sports. The same can be said for the Blazers. After suffering a 6-game losing streak this season, they’ve rewritten the script. Guys like Deandre Ayton are <a href="https://www.hpbl.co.in/sport/deandre-ayton-silences-doubters-with-dominant-performance-against-devin-booker-and-suns/" rel="noopener">performing at a high level</a>. Plus, there’s a sense of camaraderie within the group that wasn’t evident in seasons past.</p><p>Head coach Chauncey Billups has this group on the right trajectory. Even though they sit with a 22-29 record, it was previously 17-29 before the 5 added wins. Furthermore, teams like the San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings are on the fence for a play-in spot.</p><p>The Blazers don’t want to miss out on the playoffs. They’re peaking at the right time and don’t seem to be going back to those losing ways.</p><p>While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-scoot-henderson-history-monster-performance">Henderson made Blazers history</a> weeks before Tuesday’s win, he knows that he’ll have to keep the momentum going. Portland’s next game is on Thursday against the Kings. As the trade deadline will be over, the Blazers will likely keep their main core in tact for the remainder of the season.</p><p>In addition, that chemistry can be the deciding factor in a plethora of games moving forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite the team’s 132-114 loss to the Brooklyn Nets at home, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-channing-frye-calls-out-portland-player-in-nsfw-message">Henderson shone on the court</a>. He displayed a range of skills with his shots. He drove to the basket for a powerful dunk and executed a strong put-back dunk. Moreover, he also showcased finesse with a smooth floater and a precise short jumper.</p><p>Henderson was particularly lethal from beyond the arc. He sank wide-open threes with ease, but he wasn’t done there. He hit contested threes, nailed step-back threes, and even drained some ill-advised attempts. Almost all his shots found the net, proving the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-scoot-henderson-drops-truth-bomb-after-game-winner-vs-jazz">Portland guard’s sharpshooting prowess</a> that night and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/tomhaberstroh.bsky.social/post/3lfqzrtaisc2i" rel="noopener">making franchise history</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">SHINE, SCOOT, SHINE 🌟</p><p>▫️ 39 PTS (Career-High)<br>▫️ 8 3PM (Career-High) <br>▫️ 6 AST <br>▫️ 2 STL <a href="https://t.co/aRtN309Nfp">pic.twitter.com/aRtN309Nfp</a></p><p>— Portland Trail Blazers (@trailblazers) <a href="https://twitter.com/trailblazers/status/1879409102419554730?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 15, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In the game against the Nets, Scoot Henderson had a spectacular night. He scored a career-high 39 points, making 13 of his 18 shots. His three-point shooting was especially impressive; he hit 8 out of 10 attempts. At just 20 years and 246 days old, Henderson made history. He became the youngest player in Portland Trail Blazers history to score 39 points and connect on eight three-pointers in a single game.</p><h2><b>What did Scoot Henderson say about his career-best night for the Trail Blazers?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Scoot-Henderson-celebrates-Blazers-Nets.jpg"><figcaption>Soobum Im-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Even with his career-best performance, Scoot Henderson felt disappointed with the game’s result. He scored 39 points and made history, but the loss overshadowed his achievements. To him, breaking a franchise record means very little if it doesn’t contribute to a win. Winning is what truly matters.</p><p>“I always go back to what I could have done better, what we could have done better as a team,” Henderson said.</p><p>The second-year point guard voiced his frustration about the team’s defense. He was particularly upset about how many transition baskets the opponent scored. These quick scores hurt Portland’s chances of winning. He also recalled a critical moment late in the game. He realized he should have been more aware of the offense. Instead, he made a costly mistake on a key play, which added to his disappointment.</p><p>Early in his NBA career, Henderson struggled to meet expectations. Despite this, Portland head coach Chauncey Billups believes Henderson has handled his challenges admirably. Instead of dwelling on his bad games, Henderson chooses to move forward. He stays focused on his goals. His determination is evident as he continues to try to improve his game each day.</p><p>“I’m really just proud of him, the work he’s putting in,” Billups said. “Everybody in the gym is just so happy for him. We see the hard work that he puts in.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In their previous meeting, the Mavericks cruised to a 132-108 win in Dallas, showcasing their offensive firepower. This time, Portland has a chance to turn the tables, as Luka Doncic, the centerpiece of the Mavericks’ attack, will miss the game due to a calf injury, leaving a significant void in Dallas’ lineup.</p><p>This latest win offered a glimpse of the resilience Portland hopes to carry forward as they navigate a challenging season. For Henderson, it was a chance to demonstrate leadership and the potential the Trail Blazers need to see from the young guard as they work to stay competitive in the Western Conference.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
