Miller scores 52 points

Andre Miller with No.24 trail blazers jersey got a career-high 52 points which includes 25 in the fourth quarter and overtime.

On Portland’s second possession of the game, Miller’s 15-foot jumper missed the rim the completely and hit the backboard. That was one of his few misfires as Miller finished 22 of 31 from the floor and 7 of 8 from the foul line. I just wanted to stay aggressive,” Miller said. “I didn’t look at it as scoring the ball, but just going out and making plays and being the point guard. The shots came and since they were going in, I kept shooting.”

“I had a good look at the game winner off the spin move,” Nowitzki said. “That’s a shot I’ve got to make. In overtime it was the same thing. It’s definitely a tough one to swallow.”
