PORTLAND, Ore: The somber Portland Trail Blazers found it difficult to celebrate a victory after losing Greg Oden.
Brandon Roy had 28 points and scored the winning basket to help Portland beat Houston 90-89 on Saturday night, but the Blazers were both solemn and resolute with the probable season-ending injury to Oden in the first quarter.
"I told everyone in the locker room I felt this was like a punch to the gut," said Portland general manager Kevin Pritchard, who selected Oden No 1 in the 2007 draft.
