In some ways, the height of the COVID pandemic feels like forever ago and in other ways it feels like yesterday.
But on this day three years ago, some normalcy re-entered our lives when the Portland Trail Blazers resumed their season.
In their first game against the Memphis Grizzlies, who they were catching in the Western Conference standings, the Blazers pulled out a much-needed 140-135 overtime win.
Portland trailed by nine points with just under five minutes to go, but the team outscored Memphis 21-12 in the last part of the game to go into overtime.
