For 30 minutes, it looked as though the Portland Trail Blazers would cruise to an easy victory over the shorthanded Oklahoma City Thunder tonight, maybe even getting some rest ahead of an always grueling back-to-back on the road.

They trailed by five in the final minutes, only to be rescued by undoubtedly impressive, yet frustratingly mandatory heroics from Damian Lillard. When the dust settled, Portland was was lucky to walk away with a 115-104 win that was WAY closer than the final score would give the impression of.
