Another good preseason game for the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland jumped ahead in the first half behind their Big Three and the hot-shooting Anthony Morrow, then slowly built a comfortable cushion on their way to their first preseason victory, beating the Raptors 106-101.
Nurkic had an injury scare early in the game. He came up limping after landing awkwardly, and left for the locker room. He was cleared by the team and returned to the game. Here is video.
The Blazers were led by Nurkic (12 points, 6 rebounds), Morrow (12 points), Damian Lillard (16 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds) and CJ McCollum (15 points, 4 assists).
