EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Brandon Roy scored 29 points and rookie Jerryd Bayless added a career-high 23 to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 105-99 victory over New Jersey on Thursday night, snapping the Nets' season-high four-game home winning streak.
LaMarcus Aldridge added 20 points and Travis Outlaw scored all 13 of his points in the second half when the Trail Blazers rallied from an 11-point deficit.
Devin Harris had 23 points and eight assists to lead New Jersey. Rookie Brook Lopez added 17 points, Bobby Simmons 14 and Vince Carter 13 while playing with a slightly sprained ankle.
The game pitted two teams a day after coming off their worst losses of the season.
Portland lost by 21 points to Philadelphia in a game it lost point guard Steve Blake for a week-to-10 days with a separated shoulder.
Bayless, who had scored 53 points in his previous 18 games, made up for the loss with a big game.
