Summary

- New ownership group officially took over the Blazers on Tuesday.
The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 118-106 on Thursday night, with Jrue Holiday leading the charge with 27 points and seven three-pointers. This victory extends Portland's winning streak to three games and marks their eighth win in their last ten contests. The game was significant as it was the first to be observed by the team's new ownership group, which officially took control on Tuesday after the NBA Board of Governors approved the reported $4.25 billion sale.
Key contributors for the Blazers included Deni Avdija with 26 points and Toumani Camara adding 23. The Pelicans, who have struggled recently with eleven losses in their last twelve games, were led by Jeremiah Fears' 21 points off the bench. Portland secured their lead in the fourth quarter, with Holiday's crucial three-pointers sealing the win and bringing the final score to 118-106. The Blazers have already clinched a play-in game spot and are aiming to improve their seeding.
The new ownership group is led by investor Tom Dundon and includes other prominent figures. They were present courtside to witness their team's performance. The Pelicans will face the Sacramento Kings next, while the Trail Blazers are set to play the Nuggets.
