the Blazers are red hot--and it's not just their red road uniforms.
talent + confidence = 7 straight wins.
from the Sacramento Bee:
The winning streak had reached seven, not merely the longest active run in the league, but with the added credibility of including two back-to-back sets and victories over Minnesota, New Orleans, Seattle, Utah and Sacramento, among others. And just like that, your favorite band of marauders was proving it can still be as dangerous to others as themselves was four games behind the Pacific Division lead, even after two previous losses to the Kings.
"We just came out and felt like we had the game won," Trail Blazers guard Jeff McInnis said. "We kept saying on the bench that we knew the Kings could make threes and that they could make shots at any time to keep them in the game, and that's what they did tonight. They are a great team, and no lead is safe against the Kings and we knew that. We just kept fighting and they just kept shooting."
