Blazers Shock Thunder in Oklahoma City

Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, and Paul George make an impressive trio for the Oklahoma City Thunder on paper, enough that a Portland Trail Blazers squad missing leading scorer Damian Lillard should not have had much of a chance when the two teams faced off on Tuesday night. The old saw says that games aren’t played on paper. As it turned out, the Thunder didn’t play much of a game on the court either. They tried to out-talent and out-isolate the supposedly-inferior Blazers, but Portland was having none of it.
