He told his teammates: “Let’s make a push, you guys!”

Portland responded with a 119-111 victory Friday night over the Los Angeles Lakers. Roy had 20 points and a career-high 12 assists after missing the previous two games with a sprained right ankle.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 22 points for Portland, which snapped the Lakers’ 10-game overall winning streak and seven-game streak on the road.

“We were having fun out there,” Roy said, “and hopefully this confidence rolls over to the rest of the season.”

Portland went up 96-90 early in the fourth, but Sasha Vujacic’s 3-pointer tied it at 100 midway through the quarter. Vujacic nailed another 3-pointer to tie it at 107 with 3:05 left, but the Lakers could never grab the lead.
