The Trail Blazers won their third straight game with a 114-110 victory over Atlanta on Sunday afternoon at Moda Center.

The Blazers improve to 6-8 overall on the season and have won each game since a 45-point drubbing to Memphis the previous Sunday.

Shaedon Sharpe hit a big three-pointer to help seal the win, part of his game-high 32 points. Dalano Banton had 23 points off the bench.

The Blazers led 94-81 entering the fourth quarter but trailed 102-99 with 3:59 to go after a three-pointer from Trae Young for Atlanta. But Sharpe hit his three-pointer with 1:03 left to beat the shot-clock and give Portland the lead at 108-107. Sharpe had all of Portland’s 11 final points of the game.

Portland is now 4-4 at home this season.

Next up, the Blazers embark on a five-game road trip that goes from Oklahoma City to Houston, Memphis and Indiana. The Blazers visit the Thunder on Wednesday.
