The Portland Trail Blazers didn’t roll over and die, but didn’t show much fight either, getting run over by the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road 120-111. It was not as close as the score suggests.
Portland looked hapless through about the first 32 minutes before ripping off an almost hope inspiring 10-0 run to close within five at 87-82 heading into the fourth quarter. The rally ended there, however, as Oklahoma City led by Paul George asserted full control in the final frame and easily sent the Blazers packing with a third straight loss.
