If you watched the Portland Trail Blazers in action last night, you might’ve noticed something different on the sidelines. Yes, the Blazers were not being led by their long-time head coach, Chauncey Billups.

Stunned by the arrest of head coach Chauncey Billups in a sprawling alleged poker scheme, the Portland Trail Blazers took to the court Friday night under an interim coach as they navigated an unexpectedly tumultuous start to the new season.

The Golden State Warriors play for the second stright night on Friday night when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups apparently leaked insider info to gamblers that his team was planning to tank so they could place bets and win big, federal court documents allege. Billups was not charged in that scheme, but appears to be identified as “co-conspirator 8” in the indictment.

Both the Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Clippers may be without some of their key players in Sunday's matchup.

The Blazers sprinted away from a day-and-a-half of surreal chaos, steamrolling the vaunted Golden State Warriors at the Moda Center.

That was reflective in the final score, as the Trail Blazers handed Golden State their first loss of the season, 139-119. Despite 35 points from Steph Curry, Golden State couldn't hold off Portland's red-hot shooting as they connected on 16 of their 34 three-pointers. After the game, Curry did his best to find the silver lining in the loss.
