The usual happened Friday night in an international game with the Trailblazers dominating Maccabi Haifa 121-74. The Trailblazers led in every quarter in the matchup, with Robin Lopez leading them with 13 points and 7 rebounds.
Blazers' coach Terry Stotts only played the starters for 25 minutes or less each, and the Trailblazers still won by nearly 50 points. It was a complete over-match by Portland compared to Israel's Maccabi Haifa. There isn't another way to put this game.
The Blazers have been working their new additions into the lineup nicely. Chris Kaman, formerly on the Lakers, contributed 13 points and 8 rebounds in 18 minutes. Steve Blake, from the Lakers and Warriors, also came in to add 5 points and 4 assists.
