Portland Trail Blazers got another solid win last night
Portland Trail Blazers got another solid win last night

The Oklahoma City Thunder took on the Portland Trail Blazers in a home game that the Thunder really needed to win in order to level the series. Instead, the Blazers came out on fire, taking the Thunder down in a big 111-98 win.

The 3rd quarter was key for the Blazers as they took an 11-point lead going into the 4th and never looked back. Lillard was his usual dominant self, scoring 24 points and dishing out 8 assists in 41 minutes. CJ McCollum led the team with 27 points and Al-Farouq Aminu had a great night, scoring 19 points.

The Thunder were pretty lackluster last night, with only Paul George crossing 20 points, scoring a game high 32 points. Russell Westbrook was outplayed by his counterpart in Lillard, scoring only 14 points, shooting 23% from the field.

With the next game of the series in Portland, the Oklahoma City Thunder need to come up with a really big performance if they want to keep themselves alive in this playoff series in which they are now down 3-1.
