NOP vs POR ScoutingNOP vs POR Scouting
Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

Houston comes in 3-2 over its last five, scoring 110 a night and allowing 105, shooting 46 percent and 29 from three, 21 free throws a game; Durant at 30 and Thompson at 21 a game. It has won the glass by 15 a night. Without Sengun (2 straight). One day's rest.
So: Houston wins, on the road, and the game turns on the glass, where Houston has been plus-15 a night and Portland plus-0 and the arc, Portland at 37 percent from three to Houston's 29. Call it Houston 114, Portland 113, Portland keeping it close.

Deni Avdija has 34 points and 11 assists in the Trail Blazers' 122-109 win over the Pelicans
NEW ORLEANS -- — Deni Avdija had 34 points and 11 assists and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the injury-depleted New Orleans Pelicans 122-09 on Friday night.
Donovan Clingan had 11 points and 15 rebounds, Shaedon Sharpe scored 23 points and Caleb Love , who hit six 3-pointers, added 22 points for Portland, which took the lead for good in the second quarter en route to a third victory in four games.
Zion Williamson scored 35 points for New Orleans, but needed more help to prevent the Pelicans from dropping their sixth straight loss. Tookie Jeremiah Fears scored 18 points. Jordan Poole and Karlo Matkovic each had 16 points and Kevon Looney grabbed 12 rebounds.
Portland made 16 of 47 (34%) 3-point attempts, while New Orleans made just eight of 30 (26.7%) from deep.
Clingan grabbed nine of his rebounds on the offensive end and Portland had 24 second-chance points. The Blazers also scored 23 points off of 15 Pelicans turnovers.
The Pelicans were short-handed — missing Saddiq Bey (strained hip flexor), Trey Murphy III (back soreness) and productive rookie Derik Queen (left quad) — but shot 59.1% in the opening period, scored 37 points and could have had more had they not missed five of 13 free throws.
But their nine-point lead to start the second evaporated when they scored just 18 points on 9-of-22 shooting, including misses on all six attempts from deep in the quarter.
Portland took advantage, surging to a 63-55 halftime lead with the help of Avdija's 23 first-half points.
Up next Trail Blazers: At San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.
