The Portland Trail Blazers are off and running in the 2019 NBA Playoffs with a 2-0 series lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Impressive performances from Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum have combined with OKC’s paltry shooting to seal victories for coach Terry Stotts’ squad. The series now shifts to the Thunder’s home arena, but the results from the first two contests are starting to reveal troubling trends for Russell Westbrook and company.
The outcomes from two games are far from a trend, but that shouldn’t take away from the fun of predicting how the action in Game 3 might play out.
