What a start. Portland’s 21-0 run in the first six minutes against Phoenix on Wednesday turned the Moda Center into the loudest building in the league, and the Blazers kept it going all night in a 124-83 rout. Damian Lillard scored 25 points and made six 3-pointers in his first game back in a Portland uniform. Deni Avdija’s sore ankle didn’t stop him from recording a double-double. New owner Tom Dundon watched from the building as Rip City celebrated the end of a turbulent offseason with a 41-point win. Now the Blazers have to show they can win on the road. Friday’s game at Sacramento (7:00 PM PT, Rip City Sports Network) starts a two-game California trip that ends against Luka Doncic and the Lakers in Portland’s first national TV game of the season.
