This is the final meeting for the season as I recall them having stated.

You are correct. That's disappointing. I live in Hawaii and was gonna plan a trip to Portland and hopefully time it up with a potential Suns game.

I'm equally perplexed at Marion over Barkley and Bridges over Durant.

Couldn't catch the game but how come Ayton only played 16min?

CamJo injury could have a silver lining if Saric plays well and we get both for playoffs. Also may push Jones to pull the trigger on Crowder to get a difference maker at PF.

Foul trouble and the bench played well enough without him.

Too easy.

CP3 and Book played a great game and basically everyone did his job.

Our defense were ready to stop J. Grant and Ayton could play a bit harder than the day before to stop Nurkic. Not so many meh fouls called in this game.

I am interested in how Saric is gonna perform as our backup PF. He played well in this one, good to see it.

He had 3 fouls in the first half but our bench was playing well and we were pulling away so I they likely figured they'd let him rest his ankle.
