Blazers made difficult shots. Pelicans and Hawks scored uncontested layups and dunks all game long.
They mostly played excellent defense on Lillard, as strange as it may sound since he scored 34. As you said, they were killed by excellent contested three point shooting from the rest of the crew. A little bit more resistance against Kanter and Melo would have been nice
