PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS. C. This wasn’t a very good performance from the Trail Blazers, but in part that’s down to a particularly effective performance from the Bucks.
<p>Jusuf Nurkic was Portland’s obvious star performer, but after an exceptionally good start to the game, even he slowed down heading into the second half.</p>
<p>Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum were stifled and underwhelmed with their overall play, and for how impressive the Blazers have been defensively so far this season, it also feels fair to ask how they aren’t getting more out of their considerable weapons on the offensive end.</p>. Western Conference. 13-9
