Shorthanded Blazers Fall Short In Oklahoma City

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Despite having just eight players in uniform in the second game of a back-to-back and the third in four nights, the Portland Trail Blazers were right in the thick of things through the better part of three quarters Saturday night in Oklahoma City.

They couldn't keep it up through the fourth.

After trailing by as few as four points with less than four minutes to play in the third quarter, the Trail Blazers were soundly bested in the fourth to fall 119-106 to the Thunder in front of a crowd of 18,203 Saturday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
