The Portland Trail Blazers bounced back from their loss to the Spurs on Thursday to defeat them on Friday 134-128. Now they head out on a nearly two week road trip for seven very difficult games. The injury/sickness bug seems to biting again too which increases the difficulty level immensely. Better keep your expectations in check for a while.
The Phoenix Suns aren’t happy at all with their record, but their big three should all be available for the foreseeable future and optimism in Phoenix is rising. Their current homestand is being billed as nearly make-or-break, so it’s not likely the Blazers will catch the Suns sleeping.
