Oklahoma City dropped its second game in a row Tuesday night at home against the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland was led by LaMarcus Aldridge's 30 points, 10 made free throws as he pitched in eight rebounds. The Thunder struggled mightily as did Kevin Durant, who shot a miserable 8-26 from the field and never got on track nor did his team in defeat.
Ach, what a painful one to watch. The Trail Blazers proved to be defensive stalwarts in the lane, great ball handlers, and the perfect anti-thesis to the Thunder. After such a strong start to the season, the last two losses have been disheartening.
A huge, huge, huge win for the Western-Conference-leading Portland Trail Blazers tonight, defeating Oklahoma City 103-93. If you missed this, it was a close game, with both sides giving playoff...
Tough game tonight. The Portland Trail Blazers visit OKC to play the team that is no longer the Sonics (Early tip-off! 5:10pm). Can the Blazers pick up a big win versus a Western Conference...
There's no rest for the Thunder as they head back up I-35 back to the Chesapeake Energy Arena. After a tough loss to the defending champions, they have to turn around and face this year's Western Conference surprise, the Portland Trail Blazers.
