The Trail Blazers hadn’t played at the Moda Center in over nine months before hosting the Kings in their first game of a four-game exhibition schedule. And while it’s hard to extrapolate too much from a preseason game that was preceded by just three days of practice, one thing is for sure: despite the long layoff, the Trail Blazers have not forgotten how to shoot.
In an almost entirely empty arena, the Trail Blazers shot 51 percent from the field and 50 percent from three in a 127-102 victory versus the Sacramento Kings Friday night at the Moda Center.
