Portland Trail Blazers never even managed to get closed. They are really struggling and I was surprised what New Orleans Pelicans did to them. At the end of the half, larger lead established and Im asume that Pelicans will get the win.

Down by 3, looks like I will close the curtain now for the Portland Trail Blazers too. Such hard to imagined they can still snatch a 4 games winning against the Pelicans. I will believed on that if only all games was closed but it isn't.

Looks like Western Conference will end the 1st round of the playoffs with no much sweat.

-Houston Rockets
-Golden State Warriors
-New Orleans Pelicans
-OKC and Utah Jazz are just the closed match here in the West.

If happened, Warriors will face the Pelicans on the second round.
