The Phoenix Suns and the Portland Trail Blazers squared off on Friday night, both seeking a 2-0 start to the young NBA season. The Suns, the team with the best road record in the NBA last season, loss it’s first road game this season.
The game went to OT, and behind the effort of a healthy Damian Lillard, they ended the game on a 7-0 run. Phoenix had a chance to win it at the end, but a missed FT by Ayton — who scored 26 points — and missed putback by Jock Landale ultimately ended the Suns’ perfect season.
