The Portland Trail Blazers are building a new defensive tradition.
Assistant coach Tiago Splitter explained that the team will recognize its top defensive performer each night by placing their name in “The Box.” It’s a standard rooted in accountability, effort, and pride on that end of the floor.
Sidy Cissoko is the first to earn the honor tonight, setting the tone for what Portland wants to become defensively.
