The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, 117-106. As you can probably guess, the score was really the only the last thing I needed to fill in to complete this recap, because realistically it could have been written halfway through the 3rd quarter. A game after being embarrassed by the lottery-bound Suns, and in the aftermath of the Carmelo Anthony debacle from the last time these two teams played, OKC showed little resolve or grit in handing the Blazers not only an easy win, but also 2nd place in the Northwest and the 5th spot in the playoff race.
Thunder vs Trail Blazers, final score: OKC shows little resolve, falls to Portland 117-106
