For the second time in a week thePortland Trail Blazersand theOklahoma City Thunderfaced off and for the second time in a week, the Thunder prevailed. Tonight in Portland, in yet another low scoring affair, the Thunder beat the Blazers 96-93 on the backs of Lu Dort and Josh Giddey in a game where NEITHER team shot better than 40 percent from the field.
After going through much of the season as one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the league, the Blazers have been up against it lately - tonight, just 18 percent from distance - and without much rim pressure they run out of options really quick offensively. This hurts particularly after moving Norman Powell along with Robert Covington earlier this afternoon in a trade with theLos Angeles Clippers.
Join Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they look at tonight’s game but more so focus on what the next 6 days holds for the Blazers as the trade deadline approaches.
