MILWAUKEE -- A message to teams taking on this current iteration of the Portland Trail Blazers: If you think you’re in for an easy night, think again.
Despite trading away the majority of their 2021-22 Opening Night starters, as well as a few key rotation players, prior to last week’s deadline, the Trail Blazers have won three-straight, the latest of which was a 122-107 victory versus the Milwaukee Bucks in front of a sellout crowd of 17,341 Monday night at Fiserv Forum.
“There’s nothing sweet out here, we’re not going to go out there and let people win,” said Jusuf Nurkic.
