The Portland Trail Blazers (13-13) haven’t won a game in over two weeks, and the last time they did, it was on the road versus an Eastern Conference opponent.
Given that fact, perhaps the Trail Blazers have reason to be optimistic about their chances of ending a five-game losing streak Wednesday night when they face the Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena in the second game of a five-game road trip. Tipoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
The Trail Blazers enter Wednesday’s contest after losing 111-104 to the Golden State Warriors Monday night at Oracle Arena. Portland trailed by as many as 24 points in the second half before a 17-4 run in the fourth quarter got the game to within single digits in the fourth quarter.
