What a relief. The Portland Trail Blazers weren’t always convincing, but they’ll gratefully take their 110-106 win over the Indiana Pacers Friday night. Robert Covington scored the last six points on two three pointers to seal the deal for Portland. No time to celebrate as the Blazers welcome the Los Angeles Lakers on the second night of a home back-to-back.
The Los Angeles Lakers come in to Portland reeling after blowing a big lead to lose to the lowly Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 107-104 Thursday night. Adding insult to injury, that was the second time in eight days that the Lakers blew big leads and lost to the Thunder.
