We breakdown the New Orleans Pelicans lose to the Portland Trail Blazers in summer league roster.
(Summary) Trendon Watford’s 17-point, 11-rebound double-double and a trio of solid complementary efforts helped lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a comfortable 85-68 win over the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA 2K23 Summer League on Saturday night at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
The Pelicans (0-1) were impressive on both ends of the floor during their initial quarter of action in the desert, forging a 19-14 lead through the first 10 minutes. However, that seemed to be a wake-up call for the Trail Blazers (1-1), who proceeded to outscore New Orleans by a 54-26 margin over the middle periods to put the game away. Portland limited the Pelicans to an abysmal 27.5 percent shooting, including 12.9 percent from behind the arc.
Trey Murphy III led the Pelicans with 23 points, adding eight rebounds, one assist and four steals. Jared Harper was the only other double-digit scorer for New Orleans, furnishing 18 points, five rebounds, one steal and one block. Naji Marshall delivered nine points, six assists, five rebounds and one steal.
