Trail Blazers $10,000 Bet Pays Off

On November 1, 2017, the Portland Trail Blazers made a $10,000 bet with the Milwaukee Bucks that the Blazers would win more games in the 2017-2018 season. The verdict is in, and the Blazers came out on top!

Blazers' forward Maurice Harkless said earlier this year that he was confident that his team would win more games than they did last season. Apparently, his teammates agreed, and they placed a wager on it. The total payout for the bet was $10,000- $5,000 to each team.

The Bucks were understandably disappointed when they learned of the outcome of the bet. But, at least they can take comfort in knowing that they put up a good fight. The two teams met four times during the regular season, with each team winning once. The final game between the two teams was a close 116-107 victory for the Blazers.

Although there wasn't much on the line for either team in terms of playoff seeding or anything else, it's still interesting to see how these types of bets can affect player motivation. With so much money on the line, each player is going to do their best to come out on top. This can lead to some very exciting and intense matchups.

It will be interesting to see if any other teams follow suit and make similar bets in the future. In a league where teams are increasingly relying on analytics to guide their decisions, these sort of things could become more common. Who knows- maybe we could see an all out wager between all 30 teams before long!

Trail Blazers crush Warriors 112-91

The Trail Blazers had their way with the Warriors on Monday night, cruising to a 112-91 win. CJ McCollum led all scorers with 33 points, and Damian Lillard added 20 as Portland improved to 11-5 on the season.

Golden State got off to a good start, taking a 26-23 lead at the end of the first quarter. But Portland exploded in the second, outscoring the Warriors 38-15 to take control of the game. The Blazers never looked back, maintaining a double-digit lead throughout the second half.

Klay Thompson led Golden State with 22 points, but no other Warrior scored more than 10. Kevin Durant was held to just eight points on 3-of-14 shooting.

Portland has now won seven of their last eight games and seem poised to make a run in the Western Conference this season. The Warriors, meanwhile, have been struggling lately and could find themselves in danger of dropping out of playoff contention if they don't turn things around soon.

Trail Blazers Score Third Straight Win Over Warriors

For the third consecutive time this season, the Portland Trail Blazers have bested the Golden State Warriors. Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum led the way once again for Portland with 33 and 28 points, respectively.

In the first half, it was all Golden State. The Warriors raced out to a 16-point lead by halftime and looked like they were going to run away with it. The Blazers made a strong comeback in the second half, however, thanks largely to McCollum and Lillard.

The game was highly entertaining, featuring plenty of highlights on both sides. Klay Thompson had a particularly impressive game for Golden State, scoring 35 points on 14-of-27 shooting. Stephen Curry chipped in 21 points of his own.

Despite Thompson's heroics, it wasn't enough to overcome Portland's tandem of McCollum and Lillard. The Blazers continue to look like one of the most dangerous teams in the Western Conference, and they should be considered serious contenders for the NBA title this year.
