The Portland Trail Blazers are on fire. They’ve won 13 straight games entering the week, and are clicking on all cylinders. They’ve also reached an impressive mark—the number one spot in both Sport’s Illustrated and CBS Sports’ weekly power rankings, supplanting the likes of the Rockets, Warriors and Raptors.
Rohan Nadkarni of SI is impressed with the streak, and notes the tough week ahead:
The Blazers have won 13 straight, so I can’t keep them out of the top spot any longer. I’m curious what long-term effects this streak (and this season) will have on Portland, but for now PDX fans should certainly enjoy the ride.
