The Portland Trail Blazers Live and Die by Their Bench

Two days after outscoring the Memphis Grizzlies reserves 44-14 in a 99-92 win, the Portland Trail Blazers bench struggled and played without confidence and energy, with all eight players posting a plus-minus of -5 or worse.

Evan Turner was the only member of the second unit that scored in double figures, stepping up with 12 points, six rebounds and three assists on 6 of 8 shooting in 24 minutes. Meyers Leonard had nine points and three rebounds but the other six players that saw action all finished with five points or less.
