This season feels like Stotts has been trying to create a Frankenstein out of available parts.
After game-planning brilliantly against Harden tonight with doubles and denying him the ball (13 points total for the game and 0 Assists in the first half), they won the game tonight with Defense and a full team effort. Portland shot poorly from '3', but defensively limited Houston to 39% from the field overall, leading most of the game by double digits.
Stotts and the Blazers can head to DAL and OKC this weekend feeling that there's some Life arising from these mismatched parts.
