NBA:
The Trail Blazers lost to the Kings yesterday in the season finale. Portland sat most of their usual starters resulting in the lop-sided 121 to 82 loss. Delano Banton led the team with 17 points. Duop Reath scored 14 points in 24 minutes. He’ll definitely be a bright spot for the Blazers to look back on during this rebuilding year that saw a lot of 1st and 2nd year players get the majority of the minutes on a team that suffered more injuries than most. The Trail Blazers finish tied with the 3rd worst record. There will be a draw between them and Charlotte for who has better odds in getting into the NBA draft lottery. Portland will have many player and coaching personnel decisions this offseason.
