Despite having a combined 20 different players on the injury report, the Portland Trail Blazers and Oklahoma City Thunder were anything but a sight for sore eyes in a thrilling, back-and-forth overtime shootout on Monday night. At least five different players had “career nights” in this matchup of two injury-riddled franchises. Though, it would be the Thunder who rose as the last men standing before the 10-count, rallying back from a six-point deficit with 49.5 seconds left to force overtime, and ultimately, a 134-131 win.
For the Blazers, consider some of the statlines: a 27-point, 14-rebound, three-steal, two-block game from Drew Eubanks; a 28-point bench explosion from Ben McLemore; a 25-point, 12-assist, four-steal game from Brandon Williams, and six different players in double-figures, but no victory.
