The Portland Trail Blazers can see the finish line if they squint at this point. Just eight games remain in the season, with only three more at home. Winners of just two out of the last 15 games, it’s been a long slog for some time. Fans of the Oklahoma City Thunder probably feel the same way. The good news is though that it’s Blazer’s Edge Night! Let’s hope the teams put on a show.
The Thunder have been in rebuild mode for a while, and their efforts are starting to show some promise. That promise is generally not evident on the scoreboard, but at the moment that’s okay.
