The Portland Trail Blazers are beginning to put together a consistent effort night-to-night. What are NBA experts across the league saying about them?
While a 30-point blowout would have certainly been suffice, the Blazers’ come-from-behind, 112-111 victory over the Raptors on Monday night could end up being, in theory, the best-case scenario for the Portland Trail Blazers.
In a victory built through heroics, Portland won the exact type of game that can be built upon. Toronto’s 14-point lead ensured that, by necessity, the Blazers would have to calibrate their offense and defense at the same time.
