Nicolas Batum blocks Deron WilliamsLast night was a tough loss to take for the Portland Trail Blazers, as they surrendered a 64-39 lead with seven minutes remaining in the third quarter, to go down to the Utah Jazz 93-89 in overtime. One of the few positive highlights to be taken from the game was a huge fastbreak block off the backboard by Nicolas Batum on Deron Williams, which he followed with a cock-back dunk at the other end.

Carlos Boozer destroyed the Blazers inside with 22 points, 23 rebounds and 5 assists. For the Blazers, Marcus Camby’s second game was impressive with 18 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals, whilst Brandon Roy struggled through continued hamstring problems to 23 points in 34 minutes.

As I try to ignore the result of the game, take a look at this video of Frenchie88’s block on Mr No Look Pass.
