The Portland Trail Blazers threw a multi-tentacle attack at the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night, worthy of the Watcher in the Water trying to feast on a few hobbits and a wizard. Despite a valiant effort on Portland’s part, Brooklyn was able to slice away with the sword of Durant, freeing themselves to scurry into the dwarven mine of three-point shooting, emerging on the other side with a 128-123 victory. Josh Hart had 25 in the loss, Brandon Williams 24.
