The Portland Trail Blazers’ play-in chances are looking truer by the day, especially following a resounding 115-99 win over the Memphis Grizzlies at the Moda Center Wednesday night.
After the Blazers beat some — lets call them “disingenuous” — lower-tier opponents for their last two wins, Portland got a real test against the No. 5 seed in the West Wednesday. They cleared it with flying colors. The Blazers dominated the glass, 65-40, made 10 more 3-pointers than the opposition, and never trailed during the game. The only time the game was even tied was at 0-0.
