Surely that person wouldn’t have suggested it would be silly to play Deandre Ayton, too, considering he just missed Sunday’s game with back spasms. But I […]
The Portland Trail Blazers could not keep up with a shorthanded Los Angeles Lakers team in a 123-115 loss on Monday night.

Defense has been the mantra for the Portland Trail Blazers throughout the early part of the 2024-25 season.
