Thunder vs. Trail Blazers, final score: Portland's injuries, rebounding struggles lead to Oklahoma City supremacy, 101-90

Enes Kanter and Steven Adams were certainly the difference makers.

Portland's injury issues

The Oklahoma City Thunder have emerged with a victory over the extremely shorthanded Portland Trail Blazers, 101-90. The Thunder certainly did their part to close the Blazers out, but Portland wasn't at their best. Losing Aldridge before the start of the game was bad enough, but the first quarter injury to Nicholas Batum and the second quarter injury to C.J. McCollum pretty much sealed the Blazers' fate. Terry Stotts was so disenthused that he opted to hold Damian Lillard and Robin Lopez out of the fourth quarter.
