Bench, Nurkić Play Big In Preseason Win Versus Suns

PHOENIX -- The Portland Trail Blazers got to .500 for the preseason and finished off their 2018 exhibition road schedule with a 115-93 victory versus the Phoenix Suns in front of a crowd of 11,811 Friday night at Talking Stick Resort Arena. “I thought our defense was better," said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. "The first three quarters I thought it was pretty solid. The fourth quarter was a little ragged but offensively we did a good job or moving the ball, we got out on transition. We executed our half court sets pretty well, our time out sets. I was pleased with how we played."The Trail Blazers are now 1-1 in preseason play.
