The loss completed Stotts’ sixth season in Portland. With point guard Damian Lillard in the driver’s seat, Stotts has accumulated a 272-220 regular season record, but the Blazers have not fared as well in the postseason,going 11-23 while appearing in the playoffs for five straight years. Stotts also spent two seasons each with the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks.
