The Portland Trail Blazers secured a win on Saturday night, their first game since head coach Chauncey Billups was arrested on sports-gambling charges earlier in the week.
Players and staff celebrated the result immediately after the final horn, embracing on the court before heading to the locker room. The upbeat scene contrasted sharply with the uncertainty that has surrounded the franchise since Billups’ arrest.
The victory ends a turbulent stretch and gives Portland a 1-0 record under interim leadership while Billups’ legal situation unfolds.
