The Thunder welcome the Trail Blazers back to the ‘Peake in what should be another hotly contested game, and once again the pressure is on the Thunder to perform up to the standard the Blazers have set in the series. Following two rocky offensive performances in Portland, the Thunder found their shooting touch in game 3, and none too late, as the Blazers’ sharpshooters Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum nearly led a backbreaking comeback that eventually ran out of steam mid-way through the 4th.
Game 4 should be no easier for the Thunder.
