No opponent wants to see the Portland Trail Blazers right now, and the New York Knicks were no exception. The Blazers played hard and refused to go away, even as the Knicks’ lead approached 20. But it wasn’t enough, as New York kept the Blazers at bay for a 105-93 victory.
The Blazers were without starting guard Anfernee Simons, who was held out of the game due to knee soreness on the second night of a back to back. He is expected to return for Portland’s short road trip.
What Happened?
The Blazers caught the Knicks off guard in the first, including a stretch of 11 quick points to grab the lead, but New York pulled ahead by 1 by the end of the quarter.
