The Portland Trail Blazers got their 2018 preseason schedule off to an international start with a 122-104 loss to the Toronto Raptors in front of a sellout crowd at Rogers Arena Saturday afternoon in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Trail Blazers are now 0-1 in preseason play.
With just four days of training camp under their elastic belts, the Trail Blazers (and probably the Raptors as well), weren't all that concerned with the outcome of Saturday's contest. There was perhaps no greater evidence of that than Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum starting and playing all 12 minutes of the first quarter before sitting out the remainder of the contest.
