If the 2017-18 Portland Trail Blazers starred the classic Game Show “Match Game” and the card read, “Blow... (blank)”, several options would come to mind. Blow the lead. Blow it. Blow the offense in unfathomable ways. “Blowout” would be nowhere near the top. It simply never happens when Portland takes the court, no matter how weak the opponent. Until tonight, that is. A team-based approach in which six players ended up in double figures, none scoring more than 20, led to a 110-89 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Relative records don’t matter. The Blazers showed the chemistry, heart, and consistency that die-hard fans have been hoping to see all season, making the game look easy and the evening enjoyable for all save the visitors.
