Playing without star point guard Damian Lillard, the Portland Trail Blazers were decimated by the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday in a 127-110 loss.
The final score does not indicate just how much of a blowout this was, with Portland trailing by nearly 40 points in the most dismal moments.
Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups was asked about the loss post-game and was candid with reporters about his frustrations.
Definitely disappointed. We’ve been preaching so much as a staff to our guys just the importance of just competing.
