Nassir Little’s best game of the season wasn’t enough for his short-handed Portland team, as Harrison Barnes’ Kings rolled to a 133-116 victory Thursday as the NBA returned from All-Star break. Little started for the second time this season, scoring 26 points with five 3-pointers. The five 3-pointers tied a career-high, which he had done twice before. (Tar Heel Tribune)
