The Portland Trail Blazers were every bit as good as the New Orleans Pelicans for about the first 32 minutes in the Big Easy. Let’s not talk too much about the last 16 minutes. In the end it was a pretty comfortable for the Pelican who defeated the Blazers 126-107. Dalano Banton continues to impress with 28 points, while Deandre Ayton had a very efficient 20 points on 10-13 shooting. Scoot Henderson caught the eye more than he has in recent games, putting up 11 points on 5-8 shooting and doing a good job of driving hard to the hoop when opportunities presented themselves.
