NBA
The Trail Blazers lost to the Pistons in overtime yesterday 128 to 122 after leading for most of the game…by over 20 at one time. The team squandered a huge game from Jerami Grant who had 49 points 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Anfernee Simons put in 29. The Blazers had only 9 healthy players. Scoot Henderson, Malcolm Brogdon, Shaedon Sharpe and Deandre Ayton all sat out with injuries.
Yesterday’s trade deadline was relatively uneventful. Portland will get Boston guard Dalano Banton in exchange for a heavily protected second-round draft pick. The Blazers host New Orleans tomorrow.
