Shorthanded or not, the Trail Blazers were not going to lose at home after returning home from another disappointing road trip.
Despite being without three players in their regular rotation, including two starters, the Trail Blazers dispatched of the Detroit Pistons 110-92 in front of a crowd of 16,071 Tuesday night at Moda Center.
“I feel like we played well,” said head coach Chauncey Billups. “I didn’t think we shot it well. But you definitely take a win when you can get it. I didn’t feel like we shot the ball great, but I felt like we played with a lot of urgency and purpose for the most part in the game.
