PORTLAND -- The Trail Blazers might have been without all three of their Opening Night starting guards Sunday night, but they made more than enough threes to make up for their absences.
Portland outscored Sacramento 51-21 from behind the arc on the way to coming away with a 103-88 wire-to-wire victory in front of a crowd of 16,408 Sunday night at Moda Center.
“I just thought we played the right way the whole time,” said head coach Chauncey Billups. “We pushed the ball, we made an emphasis that our pace was going to be really important, obviously we know that their pace is important, too.
