The Portland Trail Blazers split two road games against the Phoenix Suns on Friday and Saturday night. The victory came on a game-winner from Jerami Grant and the loss was a lopsided beatdown.
Both those games came without Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons in the lineup, and Friday's win was the platonic ideal of Blazers basketball. Shorthanded and on the road against one of the top teams in the west, the Blazers played smart, hard and free and earned their most impressive and entertaining win of the year.
This weekend also showcase the Blazers young depth pieces. Portland has some useful parts at the end of the bench that offer reasons to be excited about the present and the future.
