After Tyreke Evans' first career triple-double sparked the Sacramento Kings to victory, coach Paul Westphal raved about how the rookie guard has a chance to alter the direction of the franchise.
The Portland Trail Blazers know all about that kind of impact player. After riding former rookie of the year Brandon Roy to their fifth win in six games, the Trail Blazers look to continue the surge and tighten their hold on a playoff spot Friday night when they visit Evans and the Kings. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 PM on KGW Channel 8 and 95.5 The Game. The gave is also available to stream live on blazers.com Though injuries have decimated Portland (39-28) this season, the team is still in playoff position - largely because of Roy. The Trail Blazers' lone All-Star, Roy scored 41 points while going 14 for 22 from the field Thursday to help the Trail Blazers rally from 13 points down in the fourth quarter to win 110-105 at Golden State. continue Game Info || Preview || Update Your Starting 5
Brandon Roy scored 41 points, Andre Miller added 15 points and seven assists and the Portland Trail Blazers overcame a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Golden State Warriors 110-105 on Thursday night.
Rudy Fernandez added 12 points including a pair of pivotal 3-pointers during a late 17-3 run by the Trail Blazers, who snapped a nine-game losing streak at Oracle Arena. “They play well as a team," said Roy. "It doesn’t matter what their record says, because obviously we weren’t able to win here in a while and tonight we needed to come here and get a win. We did a good job of finally controlling them." Portland also avoided what would have been a costly defeat as it tries to hold onto the eighth spot in the Western Conference. continue Game Info || Recap || Box Score || Message Boards || Video: Batum's Best Blocks  |
