After a disappointing performance in their home opener defeat to the Nuggets, the Portland Trail Blazers‘ mindset must now quickly shift on to Sacramento. The Kings, as well as the Blazers, fell short in their season opener in which we saw Phoenix torch Sacramento in the second half after the Kings came out scorching hot on the shoulders of Buddy Hield.
The Trail Blazers on the other hand, got their usual production from Damian Lillard who showed no signs of any rust in the arsenal. Sadly, the same can’t be said for CJ McCollum who struggled all night, shooting just 5-for-18 from the field.
