The Portland Trail Blazers will try to shake off a disappointing effort on Friday against the Houston Rockets by jumping right back into it on Saturday against the same Rockets team in the same arena. Friday’s game ended 116-88, and the Blazers were never really in the contest. 13 points was enough to be the high scorer for the Blazers, an “honor” shared by Shaedon Sharpe and Deni Avdija, with every Blazer finishing with a negative plus/minus. Ugh.
The Rockets meanwhile find themselves sitting in the third place in the West and tied with first place Golden State in the win column.
