Join Danny Marang as he talks the Portland Trail Blazers’ second NBA Summer League Championship in the last four years (have fun, I dare you). The Blazers took down the New York Knicks 85-77 in Sunday’s final to cap off a title run that showed flashes of potential from several of Portland’s up-and-coming talents.
Big man Trendon Watford led the charge, securing an unanimous Summer League Championship game MVP award with 19 points, seven rebounds, two assists and three steals. With Brandon Williams’ contributions (22 points, five assists) and Jabari Walker continuing his stellar debut campaign with 14 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks, Portland’s three-headed monster was too much for New York to overcome.
