BLAZERS 114 PELICANS 88 F..."LOGO WATCH" from the Big SMOOTHIE in NOLA as the "Only Game in Town" smacks "State Bird of Louisiana" into Reality behind the LOGO'S only Thomas, Percy, and Henry...the L-TRAIN! #PORvsNOP #RipCityBlazers #NOLAGumboPelicans

The Portland Trailblazers just a night after going three extra frames on the Spurs Family and winning arrives at the Big Smoothie Center for "Date Night" with the NOLA Pelicans. Well "Date Night" went left for the Pelicans as the Blazers running on "We have that Northwest Division Lead" went up 32-17 after one and never looked back.

A 62-44 lead at the break turned into a 94-62 lead and eventually a 114-88 beat down of the Pelicans. Who needs Thomas the Train, Percy, and Henry when Rip City has the L-Train leading them at every turn. L-Train with a game-high 27 points and a dozen boards in just 29 minutes as the NOP's "Brow" Anthony Davis was nowhere to be found with 7 points and six boards in 27 minutes. Dame Lillard added 17 points and seven helpers as the Blazers move to 22-6.

Want to know what kind of night it was for the Pelicans starters no one was in double figures. Austin Rivers led NOLA with 21 points with Ryan Anderson dropping sixteen as it was one of those nights in the Logo for "State Bird of Louisiana" Hoops.

The Pelicans fall to 13-13 after looking rather impressive in a win on Thursday Night vs the Rockets in H-Town 99-90...quit drinking that Pelican's Kool-Aid NOLA Gumbo Pelicans!
