The Portland Trail Blazers have had more ups than downs this season when grading on a curve, acknowledging that another rebuilding season won’t produce many victories. But Sunday night’s 134-89 loss at home to the Memphis Grizzlies represents the low point so far.

The Timberwolves offense had been humming for the last week, but a Heat team that was without Jimmy Butler ground them down Sunday night. Then some late-game miscues resulted in a 95-94 loss to Miami at Target Center.
