A Memorable Night at the Office
The Trail Blazers blew out the Suns as the Lakers and Mavericks were lighting the NBA on fire.
📍PORTLAND, Ore. — The Trail Blazers’ 127-108 win over the Phoenix Suns, their seventh victory in their last eight games, was the only NBA game on in the late window on Saturday.
Surely, nothing else of consequence happened in the league during those two and a half hours, right?
Surely, the takeaway from the night would be Deandre Ayton’s dominant 24-point performance against his former team, Jerami Grant’s best defensive game in weeks, another excellent game for both Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe off the bench, and the thought that the Blazers might just be a good basketball team now, right?
Surely, there wouldn’t be a tweet that upended the entire NBA during the closing minutes of a blowout, right?
Here’s how the end of the night unfolded.
