It was an unforgettable night for all the wrong reasons. Portland lost Rodney Hood, then suffered through a blowout 136-113 loss to the revamped Los Angeles Lakers Friday night (box score). There’s nothing positive to take from this game, so let’s get on with the recap.
- Rodney overshadowed everything. Hood went down early in the game with a non-contact leg injury. Everyone held their breath, but they knew what was coming. An hour later, the Blazers made it official: Hood tore his Achilles, just one game after he had been removed early due to Achilles pain.
