PHOENIX -- The Portland Trail Blazers started a three-game road trip versus some of the better competition in the Western Conference with a 132-100 loss to the Suns Monday night at Phoenix Suns Arena in Arizona’s capitol.
“First half, I thought we were close,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. “Defensively there were a few things here and there but I didn’t think we were that far off in the first half. But obviously in the third quarter, offensively, we didn’t shoot the ball well, we didn’t score and they were very efficient... It went off track in the third quarter, which is an understatement.
