The Trail Blazers are desperate.
Their backs are against the wall in a must-win Game 4.
In moments like this, teams turn to their stars to carry them through adversity. The Blazers turned to … Meyers Leonard?
The Portland center averaged 5.9 points per game in the regular season, and after the Blazers signed Enes Kanter, he became the fourth-string center behind Jusuf Nurkic, Kanter and Zach Collins.
But Monday night, Leonard lit up the Warriors in the first half with 25 points on 5-of-6 shooting from 3-point range.
Give him the ball & watch him WORK.
