60 points difference
142-82! Miami inflicted a historic beating on Portland. It is the largest victory in the history of the Heat, whose previous record was 43 points difference. The Floridians, in the race for direct qualification in the play-offs, also established their record for assists (41), in a match where four players scored more than 20 points (Bam Adebayo, Thomas Bryant, Terry Rozier, Haywood Highsmith ).
However, this is not the worst defeat for the Trailblazers, who had already been spanked by 65 points in 1998, and by 62 as recently as last January against Oklahoma City. In the doldrums, Portland remains on 9 losses in a row.
