The Portland Trail Blazers played another in a long series of B- games on Sunday afternoon against the New York Knicks. Portland played a solid first half, occasionally inspired. 58 points was enough to give them an 8-point lead at intermission. But the offense went cold as transition defense lost containment in the second half. The lead evaporated. Portland didn’t even come close to breaking 100 and the Knicks ran away with a 110-93 victory.
The Knicks ended up shooting 53.6% from the field, 40.0% from the three-point arc. Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby scored 28 apiece for them.
