If there’s one word to describe the Portland Trail Blazers’ opener to the 2025-26 season against the Minnesota Timberwolves, it’s “hard”.

If anyone thought the Lakers wouldn’t miss LeBron James all that much, the team’s performance in the season-opener certainly killed that theory. The Lakers played poorly in all phases of the game against the Warriors. Offensively, they had long stretches where they just couldn’t put the ball in the basket. While one of the clearest examples […]
