The Portland Trail Blazers are back in Portland for a challenging seven-game homestand. While it’s good to be home, it’s hard to imagine that Blazers are all that rested after traveling across the country to play three games in four days before flying all of the way back to Portland. Maybe the results will put a hop in the Blazers’ steps though as they swept the three games against Miami, Orlando and Charlotte. On Friday, the Blazers defeated the Charlotte Hornets 102-97 behind Anfernee Simons’ 27 points.
The Blazers’ first opponent of the homestand is the terrifying Oklahoma Thunder.
