The Blazers finally manage to close
Facing the Spurs, the Thunder then finally against the Raptors, the Blazers ont cracked in the last quarter. An unfortunate trend that has been observed since the beginning of the season. And with eight losses in their last ten matches, the franchise was in desperate need of another win. “We have to fight for 48 minutes”, insisted Thiago Splitter during the passage of his troops to Canada.
It was finally done in Cleveland. After an 8-0 run in the second quarter, Oregon’s players took control of the game and never let go after that. After three defeats in a row, the content and form of this success feels good.
“We talked about what we needed to do better and the boys answered the call”the coach continues to prepare for this trip. “They do their best, play hard, block rebounds, follow directions offensively and defensively. They try to do things the right way. And it pays off in the end. It was good to see.”
9-2 in the final three minutes allows the Blazers to end their bad streak in “clutch”, that is, games in which the difference is five points or less in the last five minutes.
“We needed it. We found ourselves in many close matches, which we could have won, and it is a pleasure to be able to conclude and rediscover the taste of victory.”confirms Caleb Love.
The coin finally landed on the right side for Portland, facing a high-ranked team from the Eastern Conference. “This is one of our best matches this season, in terms of detail”analyzed by Tiago Splitter. “We talked about playing together, moving the ball and we succeeded.”
