Damian Lillard had a chance to tie it for the visitors with a final shot, but lost control of his dribble, Andre Iguodala snuck the ball away from him, and time ran out on the Blazers. — NBA on TNT May 17, 2019It could, and perhaps should, have been so different. Basketball’s momentum can flip with greater speed and sharpness than virtually any other sport, which is how Portland, dismissed and derided after a poor Game 1 showing, came out full of poised ferocity and aggressive intent just 48 hours later.
Unlikely figures had key contributions down the stretch, with Seth Curry arresting Portland’s dip with a clutch three, while Kevon Looney answered for the home side with a critical dunk.
