Starting this week, Rip City Project will present a recap of last week’s games. Sort of like watching all the Star Wars movies before going to see The Force Awakens. For last week, the Blazers started strong, but have been struggling on their five game road trip (going 0-3 so far). Let’s break down the week before they take on the Atlanta Hawks tonight.
12/14/15 Blazers 105 vs. Pelicans 101
Why did we win?
Despite losing the fourth quarter, the Blazers held on to defeat the struggling Pelican’s at home. Sure there’s Damian Lillard’s 30 points, but it was the contribution of Gerald Henderson with his 17 off the bench that provided the necessary bench help that’s needed to win games.
