At 1-2, the Trail Blazers have not started off the second half of their 2020-21 regular season schedule the way they had hoped. They lost their first game after the All-Star break to the Suns, with Phoenix dominating the fourth quarter to come away with the victory. And after beating the Timberwolves, the team with the worst record in the NBA, in Minnesota on Saturday, they turned around and dropped the next game to the same team in the same location the next night in what was likely their worst loss of the season. While losing to teams at the top of the standings isn't anything new for the Trail Blazers this season, they had mostly taken care of business versus teams well below them in the table, which made Sunday's performance a cause for concern.
