In a game best forgotten, the Portland Trail Blazers fell to the Toronto Raptors 123-105 on Saturday night. Damian Lillard scored 30, but that didn’t even come close to compensating for the loss of Jusuf Nurkic and Josh Hart to injuries. As we detailed in our quarter-by-quarter game recap, Toronto’s big forwards destroyed Portland from the jump. Portland couldn’t shoot well enough from distance to compensate, and that was pretty much the ballgame.
Here are a few other observations and bits of analysis from a fairly by-the-numbers drubbing.
Can you help us send children in need to see the Blazers play the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, March 29th?
