Swanigan, Layman Lead The Way In Summer League Debut Victory Versus Jazz

LAS VEGAS -- The Portland Trail Blazers, unlike their opponent Saturday afternoon, did not have the luxury of playing in previous summer league games prior to their debut in Las Vegas. But in the end, that lack of experience didn't seem to matter.Portland never trailed by more than two points and would pull away in the fourth quarter to come way with a 72-63 victory versus the Utah Jazz in their first game of the Las Vegas Summer League Saturday afternoon at COX Pavilion on the campus of UNLV."I thought it went well," said Jake Layman, who started at forward Saturday afternoon for the Blazers. "It was the first game, everybody is a little tired out there obviously. I thought for our first game we played really well. We were moving the ball and, most importantly, we were guarding."
