The plucky Portland Trail Blazers kept the defending NBA champions Golden State Warriors at arm's length, roll to 118-101 victory
What kind of game do you get when you pit a team bounced from the first round of the playoffs, having lost 4 of its 5 starters, against the defending NBA champions who lost only a single bench player worth mentioning? You get a rout, of course. It's preseason, yes, but everyone saw the blowout coming. It's not like it was hard to predict...
...wait, what? The BLAZERS beat the WARRIORS?
Well, alright, then.
For the 2nd game in a row, albeit in preseason action, the Portland Trail Blazers came dressed to impress and did just that.
