Trail Blazers Bounce Back From Heartbreaker, Pick Up First Win of the Season
Portland handled business against New Orleans in the second half of their "baseball series,"
📍PORTLAND, Ore. — On Friday, the Trail Blazers led the Pelicans by 10 at halftime, gave up that lead in the fourth quarter and lost on a last-second shot by Brandon Ingram.
Coming into the two-game “baseball series” with New Orleans, on the heels of their season-opening blowout loss to Golden State, I figured they’d get one of the two games against the Pelicans before heading out on their first road trip of the season.
After they lost a heartbreaker in the first game, I figured that would count as the “win” on this opening homestand and the Pelicans would clean some things up in the second game and handle business like a playoff team should against a clear lottery team like Portland.
That did not happen.
