NEW ORLEANS -- Neither Mother Nature nor the Pelicans could stop the Trail Blazers from finishing out a perfect road trip Wednesday night in New Orleans.
After being waylaid in Oklahoma City, only to arrive in New Orleans for the second game of a back-to-back roughly three hours before tipoff, the Portland Trail Blazers came away with a 126-124 victory versus the Pelicans in front of a crowd of 1,940 Wednesday night at Smoothie King Arena.
“It’s big for us,” said Derrick Jones Jr. “Just going into this road trip we had the mindset of keeping our streak going, we’re gonna keep it going.
