In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Portland survived Los Angeles 136-129, and the fanbase celebrated mostly by raging at officials who let Doncic "breathe on" his way to the line. The turning point came two nights later: a 103-124 home loss to Memphis, explained by one fan as "37 threes and 9 free throws" missed. A 112-90 handling of Utah at noon on Halloween restored order at 4-1. With the team winning, the loudest grievance left standing is a 10 a.m. tip against Washington the day after Christmas.
What fans said
“If ya'll thought a noon game on halloween against the Jazz was bad, just wait for the 10:00AM game on the day after Christmas against the Wizards.”
