Game 609: (6) New Orleans Pelicans at (3) Portland Trailblazers

Western Conference first round
Game 1
April 14 at Moda Center in Portland, OR
ABC

Great playoff opener for the sixth-seeded Pelicans, who got huge performances from Anthony Davis (35 and 14 with four blocked shots) and Rajon Rondo (17 assists) and stunned the No. 3 seed 97-95.

Jrue Holiday added 21 points on 10-of-20 shooting. Rondo's assist total is his highest in the playoffs since also getting 17 in the Celtics' win over Philadelphia in the 2012 Eastern Conference semifinals.

Portland's top two players - Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum - were held to a combined 13-of-41 shooting and the hosts shot just 37% overall.
