Cavs swallowed by familiar Portland sinkhole, lose 102-86 to Blazers

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Cavs can't really blame Mother Nature for this two-game losing streak.

NBA schedulers? That's another matter.

Utah and Portland are two cities that, for whatever reason, swallow LeBron James' Cavs whole when they come to town. It happened again in Rip City Wednesday night, where the Blazers cruised past Cleveland 102-86.

Both the Cavs and Blazers had all sorts of trouble -- Portland even more so -- getting here Tuesday night and Wednesday morning because of the foot of snow that dumped onto the town. The Cavs at least got to sleep in Portland hotel rooms.
