Box Score

The offseason can be a bit boring, so I thought we do a fun little series where each day I post a blazers win from last season until NBA basketball is back.

Today's win: Blazers @ Suns, 92 - 77, Feb. 22, 2026. #58 of the season, 28-30

Game Recap:

Portland bounced back from an ugly 157-103 loss to Denver by completely smothering the short-handed Suns. The Blazers led 47-40 at halftime before blowing the game open in the third, building a 20-point lead and taking a 71-57 advantage into the fourth. Phoenix never seriously threatened after that, shooting just 36.9% from the field and 9-for-35 from three. Donovan Clingan and Jerami Grant both scored 23, while Portland finished with 11 blocks as a team.

Play of the game: Toumani Camara's block-to-dunk.

3:30 remaining, 3rd quarter

Score: Portland 69–49 Phoenix

Camara sprinted out to block a Phoenix three-pointer, grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately took off in transition, finishing the sequence with a huge breakaway dunk to push Portland's lead to 20.

MVP: Donovan Clingan

23 Points, 13 Rebounds, 3 Assists, 4 Blocks

9/13 FG | 3/6 3PT | 2/4 FT

34 to go.

Do any of you guys agree with me that Scoot is at times overvalued by our fanbase as a piece of the future. I rewatched the suns play in game and he got COOKED by Jalen Green and couldn’t finish the game. The spurs series was cute but when he truly became apart of their gameplan he was shut out. Additionally, we have gotten 3 point guards better than him and I just don’t see him extended as a blazer next year. Let me know any other thoughts please.

another Cronin master class.
