Trail Blazers Declaw London Lions in NBA Preseason Action

The Portland Trail Blazers routed the visiting London Lions 119-66 on Monday afternoon in their second preseason game of the 2026-27 campaign. Head Coach Micah Nori utilized the runaway contest to manage minutes and evaluate reserves, with no starter playing more than 20 minutes. Scoot Henderson and Toumani Camara led Portland with 14 points each as the team established a dominant 72-33 lead by halftime.

Damian Lillard sat out the contest, while Yang Hansen impressed off the bench by shooting 6-of-8 from the field. Writer Dave Deckard noted mild concerns regarding the second unit's point-of-attack defense on screens against NBA competition. The Trail Blazers will travel next to face the Sacramento Kings.
