Trail Blazers Sneak Past the Kings in Overtime in a Win That Felt Like a Loss
A fourth quarter meltdown, an overtime meltdown, and saved by a rare whistle at the buzzer. That is not how you draw it up. But the Trail Blazers escaped with a nasty victory over the Kings that still goes in the same win column as all the pretty ones.

Bad call, but it happens to all teams .
The blazers had this game and deserved to win.
This team has to stop being so naive last minutes
Does anybody know how to come to the ball when getting a pass- especially when you know they are going to foul you? This coaching staff is really starting to show their weaknesses and inexperience. The defense was really poor most of the night. Trying to run out the clock in the NBA is not a good strategy if you don't at least get a decent look. Go Blazers?
Jrue fixes just about everything wrong with this game.
Deni did not get bumped though…. He literally initiates the only contact that occurs by pushing off Westbrook with the ball.
We got lucky.
Between the blazers and the Rams I blew a gasket. Two meltdowns would have done me in
at least they won the game….This team is struggling in the final minutes on games,,,,They need to make some trades to make this team better
That was one ugly win. I like splitter but his game management was horrible down the stretch. And that foul call on the buzzer was weak, an undeserved gift from the refs you can say. A win is a win but they gotta wake up man.
what's weird is you ccould see it coming from a mile away even when we were still up 7 with not much time left. It seemed predictable. Maybe this makes up for one of the 2 buzzer beater losses we have had.
Still no closer
Deni did his best, and Portland won the game, no matter what?
I do not dare derosen to shoot threes…. we would have lost by 10
Mike, respect for acknowledging that it's not always the Fastest Recap. Some games just need two full segments to explain. Not explain, document. Whatever. What a messy game. I hope they spend a bunch of time practicing inbounds plays and free throws soon!
Still seems like the Blazers are playing to the competition….
Murray played bad, Love, Reath, and Cissoko played bad, but we kept them in. Never should’ve went to overtime.
A good lesson, but can we appreciate deni making those 2 free throws with all that pressure 🔥🔥🔥
Trade scoot fire gm
That was the best loss my team could ever get. We need to below your team in the lotto odds at the end of the year. We won and the NBA, NBAed. Haha you can have the win.
One detail on “the foul” it was called on #23 , Russ doesn’t wear #23. 🤔 later on replay he was closed. 🤣 #NBAed!
Seems one ref was really in the tank/on the take for the Blazers…. Sure hope you guys recognized the ref as the Blazer player of the game.
With all due respect, but Deni is not a point Guard. It is not fair to him, to have him play out of position. When is Holiday, Scoot or Wesley coming back?
Jerami Grant having himself a season, I’m happy for him. I love JG.
To your point, this was a loss. The Blazers did everything wrong at the end of this game
Sorry, not a believer in rewarding trash. Inexcusable meltdown, unbecoming of a serious NBA team. Anyone counting on Avdija to be the first option on a playoff team is delusional.
Oh boy! If Clingen goes down then this team is screwed. Ugly basketball for sure. I’m surprised Cronin didn’t see this!!
Ya, minus a few point guards and this is who they are. Holy smokes the only hope we have at this point is a new owner that can make sound decisions moving forward. Even just someone with common sense will be better than what we have now. Ex: (signing an injured Lilliard, letting our big man walk with an insurance policy in Hansen). The list goes on and on. I have a feeling that Hansen and Scoot will be teammates in the g league eventually.
I haven’t heard a time yet. I got the girls brownie skillet along with all the ingredients. They’re a little miniature cast-iron skillet. I almost bought one for you so you can make the perfect pancake lol😊😊
לפורטלנד יש 3 אול סטארים..אבדיה. גרנט. ושארפ. תוסיפו את קמרה וקלינגן. בתוספת חיזוק לעונה הבאה..ייתכן שלילארד יצליח להוסיף משהו..אל תשכחו שהוא מבוגר ורוב הקבוצה צעירים מאוד..ניראה אם יוכל לעמוד בקצב של צעירים ורעבים..
ההטבעה של גרמי גרנט הייתה מרשימה ועוצמתית..אם גרנט ושראפ יאמינו בעצמם ? הם ייהפכו לאול סטרים..גם סיסקו ולאב ממש השתפרו..חושב שדני פשוט גורם לכול הקבוצה להעלות רמה.
המאמן של פורטלנד לא ניהל את המשחק טוב..ההשארה של קלינגן בסוף היתה טעות ..היו צריכים להיות רק גרדים שיודעים לקלוע טוב יותר!
