Nicolas Batum and CJ McCollum suffered injuries, and Chris Kaman left early in a meaningless game for the Blazers against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Meyers Leonard set a career-high with 24 points, Chris Kaman had 14 points, but the Portland Trail Blazers lost two more players to injury on the road, losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 101-90 Monday night at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
As if things could not get worse for the Blazers as of late, everything went badly for Portland in the first quarter. Oklahoma City grabbed nine offensive rebounds leading to eleven points, out-rebounded the Blazers 19-6 in the period, and seized a 16 point lead behind Russell Westbrook and Enes Kanter.
