Matthews’ 11 Fourth Quarter Points Help Trail Blazers Skate Past Kings 107-102
Apparently, Portland Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan was none too pleased with his team’s performance againat the Houston Rockets last Turesday. So what punishment did he dole out? Extra practice?

Anyone who follows the happenings during the NBA All-Star Weekend knows that the games between both the Rookies and Sophomores plus the NBA All-Star Game are lighthearted, by nature.

Roy Sub Helps Trail Blazers Edge Grizzlies 100-99
The Portland Trail Blazers, without the services of Brandon Roy, seemed at first glance to be a bit short-handed as the loss of the fifth-year guard/forward from the University of Washington meant losing 18 PPG.
