The Story Behind 'The Box'
A new motivator for the Trail Blazers on defense.
📍TUALATIN, Ore. — Over the past week, Tiago Splitter carried a mysterious FedEx box with him on the Trail Blazers' team plane. It was with him during last Sunday's loss in Memphis, and it made the trip three days later to New Orleans for Thursday's loss to the Pelicans.
No one knew what was in the box, because their coach couldn't open it until they won a game.
After they beat the Warriors on Sunday night, Splitter was finally able to reveal what was in the box.
It was...another box.
