Following the Portland Trail Blazers’ loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night, the team is embroiled in its first legitimate losing streak of the season. The 119-111 defeat comes on the heels of home losses to the Utah Jazz and Brooklyn Nets, dropping Portland’s record to 10-7, good for 8th in the NBA’s Western Conference. That’s a far cry from the heady first-place position the team occupied just last week.
The short jag is causing sections of Trail Blazers nation to... worry? I want to say, “Lose their minds,” but that might be exaggeration.
