Calkins: Blazers G Jonny Flynn Talks OKC Game

78
Matt Calkins of The Columbian caught guard Jonny Flynn's reaction to playing 25 minutes for the Portland Trail Blazers against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night. ------------------------------ Earning significant playing time for the first time all season, Portland's newly-acquired point guard Jonny Flynn displayed a moderate resemblance to his once highly-touted self. Scoring 10 points and handing out five assists in 25 minutes, Flynn gave fans — and himself — a taste of what he is capable of. "It felt good to be out there. Those were my first meaningful minutes this whole season," said Flynn, adding that his alley-oop pass to J.J. Hickson in the second quarter was "the ice breaker" for him vs. the Thunder. "Being able to compete...hopefully it's going to come with time. I still have to shake some of the rust off." ------------------------------ -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
