It wasn’t all bad for the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. Yes, they lost their matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers for a third straight defeat and center Jusuf Nurkic missed most of the game with an injury. But that gave fans they opportunity to get an extended look at center Zach Collins.
While Collins stat line wasn’t too impressive at first glance, the Trail Blazers budding big man did show flashes of brilliance against the Clippers, including a couple exciting slams and one defensive play that electrified the crowd.
In the video below, watch the highlight reel block from Collins that led to an easy dunk for Evan Turner at the other end as the Trail Blazers were mounting their comeback.
