The Portland Trail Blazers playing the Washington Wizards will not lead Sportscenter tonight, but the matchup did showcase some of the young talent coming up in the NBA. In the battle of youth, the Blazers would defeat the Wizards 112-97 in front of a Saint Patrick’s Day crowd at Moda Center. The Blazers used steals and three-point shooting to suffocate Washington. Portland would end up shooting only 32% from deep, but it was when they connected on the threes that mattered. Most of them came in the first half, creating a double-digit lead. The Wizards would make small runs, but never get within striking distance.
