The Portland Trail Blazers’ 131-120 home loss against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night marked their sixth loss in a row, putting the team’s overall record at 6-18. Despite the troubles, Portland rookie point guard Scoot Henderson remained mighty confident in the postgame locker room.
Saturday featured just the second game all season Portland had Jerami Grant, Anfernee Simons, Deandre Ayton and Malcolm Brogdon available in the lineup. As the team gets healthy and gains familiarity with one another, Henderson said it’s only a matter of time before the Trail Blazers “click” and put the entire league on notice.
