PORTLAND -- Not only did defeating the 76ers in Philadelphia last week give the Trail Blazers, a team missing four of their five Opening Night starters at the time, one of their best wins of the season, it also provided a reminder of what can happen when you don’t take a game versus an injured team seriously.
“Coming on the heels of our win in Philadelphia when we were undermanned and we were able to get a win in Philadelphia being severely undermanned with injuries, I think Orlando is in that same position,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts.
