Blazers Drop Close Duel vs. Bulls

Blazers Drop Close Duel vs. Bulls

Photo by Jamie Sabau/ 30 points from Simons and a fourth-quarter comeback came up just short. A spirited Portland Trail Blazers’ road effort came within an Anfernee Simons 3-pointer of overtime against the Chicago Bulls tonight. The ball was still on Ant’s fingertips when the red lights flashed; the shot rimmed out, anyway. Ball game. Bulls win: 110-107. After the Bulls went on a transition and 3-point rampage in the third quarter to gain separation, the Blazers responded in kind with a 3-point fest of their own in the fourth to get Simons in position to tie it....

Damian Lillard Sits Courtside For Blazers vs. Bulls

Photo by Melissa Tamez/Icon Sportswire via On his day off, the former Blazers star enjoyed being a spectator of his old team. Former Portland Trail Blazers All-Star Damian Lillard was in attendance as his former team played the Chicago Bulls Monday night. Lillard was traded from the Blazers to the Milwaukee Bucks during the 2023-24 preseason. With a two-day break for the Bucks after Sunday’s home victory over the Phoenix Suns, Lillard took some time to visit with old friends from both teams, and just enjoy the festivities. The game ended with Anfernee Simons barely...

Recap: Blazers Come Back But Fall to Bulls, 110-107

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Portland got back into a game they had no business being in, but fell just short. After leading early, the Portland Trail Blazers fell behind by double digits in the third quarter and despite a spirited, three-point-fueled fourth quarter where they retook the lead, couldn’t quite close it out, falling to the Chicago Bulls 110-107. The Blazers got another big night from Deandre Ayton, going for 25 and 15 on 11-17 shooting with most of his damage coming in the first three quarters, as well as 30 points and 9 dimes from Anfernee Simons,...

Blazers’ Deandre Ayton Coming Into His Own

Photo by Layne Murdoch Jr./NBAE via Deandre Ayton has continued to impress for the Portland Trail Blazers. The Portland Trail Blazers faced a tough schedule this week, and went 1-3 in their game. The Blazers lost to the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks and New Orleans Pelicans who are all within the top six team of their respective conferences. The lone win for Portland came against the Atlanta Hawks. Despite the tough schedule, there were a number of individual standout performances for the Blazers, but one player stood above them all.

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Chicago Bulls Preview

Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports The Blazers travel to the windy city to face the painfully mediocre Bulls To call today’s contest between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Chicago Bulls a mid off is probably unfair to the Bulls: after all, they’ve won nearly half their games and haven’t had a three-game losing streak since November. The Blazers, meanwhile, went the entire month of February without a single, solitary win. Nonetheless, neither of these teams have much to play for, with the Blazers recently being eliminated from playoff contention and the Bulls 4.5 games...

Ayton: Moving Cities, Poor Sleep Contributed to Early Season Woes

Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports Blazers center Deandre Ayton shared his struggles to adjust a new team, including an interesting quote about air mattresses. Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton, enjoying by far his most dominant stretch in a Blazers uniform as of late, shared that moving cities and adjusting to his new life in Portland was at least partially to blame for why he wasn’t playing his best to start the season. In a piece by Aaron Fentress of The Oregonian, Ayton discussed the many different factors that contributed to his less-than-stellar...

Dalano Banton Discusses ‘Attacking’ Mindset vs. Pelicans

Dalano Banton Discusses ‘Attacking’ Mindset vs. Pelicans

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports The midseason acquisition put up another solid performance on Saturday. The Portland Trail Blazers lost on the road to the New Orleans Pelicans 126-107 on Saturday. Despite the loss, the game featured another great performance from Portland midseason acquisition Dalano Banton. The 6-foot-8 guard registered 28 points on 10-20 shooting, six assists and five rebounds (though he did have five turnovers, a team-wide problem Saturday night). Banton exploited New Orleans with his usual downhill drives, but he also shot a more-than-serviceable 4-8...

Recap: Pelicans Shut Down Blazers, 126-107

Photo by Sean Gardner/ For most of three quarters the Blazers were every bit as good as the Pelicans. Then they weren’t. The Portland Trail Blazers were every bit as good as the New Orleans Pelicans for about the first 32 minutes in the Big Easy. Let’s not talk too much about the last 16 minutes. In the end it was a pretty comfortable for the Pelican who defeated the Blazers 126-107. Dalano Banton continues to impress with 28 points, while Deandre Ayton had a very efficient 20 points on 10-13 shooting. Scoot Henderson caught the eye more than he has in recent games,...
