The big news from the match was the absence of Portland’s star guard and leading scorer Damian Lillard.

Lillard was listed on the injury report as probable and was in doubt for the match from the get-go. He went through his warm-up before the game, but the team coach eventually decided to put him on the sidelines.

Trey Murphy III was the star man for the Pelicans as he managed to hit nine 3-poInter/”>Inters and scored a career-high 41 points, in total.

The Blazers are enduring a miserable run of form, which saw them lose 8 of their last 11 matches and they are currently sitting in 13th place, trailing the Jazz, Lakers, Pelicans and Thunder by two games.
