The Portland Trailblazers are burning the Candles at Both Ends as they are Red Hot with a come from behind Win over the Champs 305 with a Dagger of Money Balls from Blazers 2G Wes Matthews Jr. (pictured left). Rip City is 7-3 in their Last 10 and on a 4-Game Win Streak as they have climbed to 2nd in the Northwest Division. The Blazers get 84 of their 92 Points from the Starters with French National Team SF Nicolas Batum netting 28 points, 7 boards, and 5 assists. He was followed close by L-Train..Blazers PF LaMarcus Aldridge's 20 points and 15 boards. The Blazers only get 8 from a Thin Bench and that could spell Gloom and Doom after the All-Star Break. The Heat were up by 11 early in the 4th Frame but could not hold their End of the Bargain as they have lost Two in a Row and 5-5 in their Last 10 Games. The Heat have to realize they must do it on the Defensive End or they will not keep Larry in South Beach. King James almost goes Triple-Double with 15 points, 10 boards, and 9 helpers. Bosh led the Heat Charge with 29 points with Wade County adding 18 points.
For once the Heat matched up with a Team about as Small as them as the Rebounding Stats were locked at 45. The Margin of Victory was the Blazers went to the Line 30 times and the Heat settling for More Jumpers 20 times. The Champs fall to 23-11 and only 3 Games up on the All of a Sudden Struggling Atlanta Hawks.
