The Portland Trail Blazers entered this contest having lost five of their last six, the Miami Heat have lost just once at home all season (16-1). Given Portland’s current trend, you can probably guess the outcome of this one.
The Blazers eventually fell 111-122 to the Heat, and this scoreline was kind in the end, as they trailed by as many as 24 at one stage.
Miami simply moved the ball better, shot the ball better and defended the ball better; they’ve been fundamentally superb this year, and took the Blazers to school in this one.
