The Portland Trail Blazers, exploring the limits of the NBA’s hardship clauses, fell again on the road Wednesday, getting blown out 128-98 by the New York Knicks.
Portland was never really in this one and trailed by double digits most of the evening.
Josh Hart led the road team with 17 points, five rebounds and three assists. Kris Dunn was another bright spot in a dark place, adding 13 points and seven assists off the bench.
First Quarter
The Blazers struggled early to compete with the Knicks’ size at both ends.
