The Portland Trail Blazers played a hard-fought, but ultimately ineffective, game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night, coming up on the short end of a 122-111 score. The Blazers put six players in double figures but shot only 40% in doing so. That wasn’t enough to overcome 54.5% shooting from Cleveland, who played without All-Star Donovan Mitchell. Darius Garland led the Cavs with 27 points, Ty Jerome adding 25. No Trail Blazers player topped 18, with Shaedon Sharpe, Donovan Clingan, and Scoot Henderson all reaching that mark.
The loss drops the Blazers to 32-41 on the season, marking the end of their hopes for a winning 2024-25 campaign.
