The Portland Trail Blazers welcomed new players to their lineup against the New York Knicks on Saturday afternoon. Josh Hart, acquired at the NBA Trade Deadline as part of a package for former starter CJ McCollum, scored 23 on 7-12 shooting in an impressive debut. The energy of Hart and company was contagious enough to bring the Blazers through a mighty fourth-quarter run to turn a 23-point deficit into a lead, and ultimately, a 112-103 victory. If the Blazers are supposed to turn losses into lottery picks, somebody evidently forgot to tell the players.
