Between diligently following protocols and good fortune, the Portland Trail Blazers haven’t had their 2020-21 regular-season schedule disrupted all that much by the COVID-19 pandemic, at least relative to some of their NBA contemporaries. But every team has endured some tweaks to their schedule, and for the Trail Blazers, one of those tweaks was moving a game versus the Hornets in Charlotte scheduled from the first half of the season to the second.
So on Sunday, over two months from the originally scheduled meeting, the Trail Blazers and Hornets will complete their season series at the Spectrum Center in the second game of a two-game road trip for Portland.
