The Portland Trail Blazers came out on fire tonight. They were clicking on all cylinders and their offense looked effortless for most of the first half. They were moving the ball very well which is often uncharacteristic of this offense.
They actually had a season high for assists in a half tonight with 18 first half assists. Damian Lillard and Evan Turner accounted for most of these first half assists as both were seeing the floor well and setting up easy buckets for their teammates.
Lillard came out hot scoring and making good decisions in the pick and roll with Jusuf Nurkic.
