Oden-less Blazers top Durant-less Sonics

It was supposed to be Portland’s first look at Kevin Durant, the player the Trail Blazers didn’t take in the draft in favor of Greg Oden. Instead, it was a routine, albeit close, exhibition game. Durant, the No. 2 pick in the draft by the Seattle SuperSonics, sprained his ankle on Tuesday and didn’t play Wednesday when the Blazers beat the Sonics 109-107.
