What began as a tight contest ended in a blowout, as the Portland Trail Blazers got ran out of the gym by one of the NBA’s newest and brightest stars and the rest of the New Orleans Pelicans 138-117 on the road.
Portland held the lead for most of the first half, and by as much as 16, but New Orleans nearly closed the gap before halftime and the 3rd quarter was a laugher as the Blazers went cold.
Zion comin’, yo!. Portland got its first look at the man who in all likelihood is destined to terrorize them along with the rest of the Western Conference for at least the next decade.
