Resting Up for Playoffs Just Fine With the NBA

I don’t blame Harry Glickman, president of the Portland Trail Blazers, for complaining about Pat Riley’s action in Sunday’s game. The fans in Portland didn’t pay to see Riley’s scrub team perform.

But at least they saw the strength in Riley’s bench. Larry Drew shooting a fantastic one for 16 and Cooper and unbelievable one for 14.
