PHOENIX -- Opening night could not have gone much worse for the Phoenix Suns.

Phoenix was blown out 124-83 by the Portland Trail Blazers in their season opener Wednesday night, and the Suns looked overmatched from the opening tip against the team that beat them in their first play-in matchup last season.

There were pretty much no positives to take away from the loss for the Suns with things snowballing out of control early on after the Blazers jumped out to a 21-0 lead.

Just like last season, Portland's size was too much for the Suns to handle with the Blazers outrebounding Phoenix 56-39 with 16 of them being offensive rebounds.

Phoenix also could not stop Portland from 3-point range, as the Blazers converted on 19-of-47 (40.4%) 3-point shots. Damian Lillard scored 25 points (6-for-10 from 3) in his first game back after missing all last season with an Achilles tear.

Offensively, the Suns shot just 30-for-84 (35.7%) as a team overall and 6-for-31 (19.4%) from long range.…
