We’re up to two consecutive easy games for the Blazers, who stomped OKC Wednesday night. Every starter scored in double figures, and Portland laughed their way to a cakewalk 136-119 victory against an outmatched opponent.
A sublime first quarter. Portland hit their first 9 shots, looking like they were ready for the Perfect Quarter Part II, before settling down for “only” 42 points and a 16-point lead.
Energy surge. After 6 games on the road and a couple of nights at home, Portland had a spark from the opening tip, out-hustling OKC at both ends.
