Tyus Jones said tonight they just couldn’t get rolling.
Jones said Portland made it tough on them defensively by being active and up on ball screens, showing hands, & deflecting passes that forced turnovers to get them out on the run, which all played into their hands. – 1:25 AM

Ja Morant said Portland made it tough for him getting inside the paint by blitzing and doubling him off ball screens.
As a team, Morant added that they let the offensive struggles affect them on the other side of the floor and made mistakes turn into other mistakes. – 1:11 AM

Ja Morant on the national attention thus far for his team: “I feel like we earned it” and they battled the past 2 years to get respect. And they want to keep fighting and lock in in a tough Western Conference – 1:08 AM

You have to go all the way back to 2014 to find another game where Clippers lost to an opponent that made 3 3s or fewer like Cavaliers did tonight.
Clippers are 1-3 and fail to break 80 points for the first time since Mavs Massacre. They’ll wrap up October Friday in Portland. – 12:47 AM

After the game, Coach Jenkins said the team didn’t play or shoot well. They had some mistakes that Portland took advantage of, missed wide open threes, and mentioned Portland’s aggressive defense that resulted in 22 turnovers. They will learn from it and get better tomorrow. – 12:45 AM

Going to be a throw away game for Memphis. Nobody (except Bane) played well. Jaren 3-13. Ja with career high 9 turnovers. Melton 0-8 from the field. Adams 4 fouls and 7 rebounds.
Chance to bounce back tomorrow at Golden State. – 12:28 AM

Solid answer by Blazers in second half. They just wore down Memphis, turning a six-point halftime deficit into 20-point lead. The starters get a standing O as Billups empties bench with 5:20 left. Portland will be 2-2 with Dame not shooting well, Powell hurt and Nurk just so-so. – 12:25 AM

After an absolute slog of a first half, the Blazers finally found a rhythm in the third and then opened the fourth with a 20-4 run to put it away. A nice win that they needed after a dud in LA on Monday. – 12:24 AM

The Lakers are 2-3.
They beat Memphis but trailed entering the 4th quarter and survived a missed Ja Morant free throw.
They beat San Antonio in OT after trailing by double digits in the 4th quarter.
They could easily be 0-5. – 11:17 PM

That was an impressive tipped rebound by Nance of a long Lillard miss to Simons for the three. Simons has scored the last 5 Blazers points and the score now stands at 17-17. – 10:28 PM

Memphis has gotten off several threes in the left corner. Blazers offense is just awful right now. – 10:25 PM

A couple were uncontrolled tips but the Grizzlies having 6 offensive rebounds already isn’t great – 10:25 PM

Grizzlies lead by 1 despite missing a few plays.
Ja still scoreless. Looks like Portland’s entire defensive game plan is to take his opportunities away. – 10:24 PM

Dame knocks down his first three-point attempt of the game. Could this be the night he breaks out of the slump? – 10:12 PM

Towns elbowing Pat Connaughton to the floor for that offensive foul, likely for making Kentucky sweat a lot during that Elite 8 matchup with Notre Dame in 2015. – 9:09 PM

Taylor Jenkins says he’s seeing a lot of growth and encouragement with Desmond Bane and De’Anthony Melton taking on stopper responsibilities. It allows them to gain more defensive versatility, study more. He’s excited about the opportunities for them with Dame/CJ/Steph – 8:37 PM
