The win ended Portland’s 10-game playoff losing streak that dated back to May 7, 2016. 3 seed, but were facing a Thunder team that beat them four times during the regular season. That’s a far cry from the four regular season matchups in which OKC turned 59 Portland turnovers into 75 points. Blazers coach Terry Stotts admitted the Blazers might have gotten fortunate with George’s 3-point misses. George shot 21 for 40 on 3’s against Portland during the regular season, and anything close to that percentage could have led to a demoralizing Blazers loss.
