The Portland Trail Blazers finish their preseason with a laugher, thumping the Utah Jazz 124-86. Portland’s 3-1 preseason gives them some hope as they now prepare to open their season next week. The Blazers enjoyed the return of Anfernee Simons with a high-energy performance, and Utah never looked prepared to challenge them from the opening tip.
Prior to the game, the Blazers announced that Matisse Thybulle will be out 4-6 weeks due to knee inflammation.
Blazer of the Game: Jerami Grant. He set the direction from the start, hitting the first 3 three-pointers and driving-and-dishing for assists.
