The Blazers leading 54-47 at the half and 85-73 after three on the road is a good enough Team to answer anything the Rockets threw at them down the stretch and get a "W" right? Well unless you have Nike Basketball's James Harden on your side.

"Fear the Beard" #13 hits the game-tying Money Ball at 8.8 left in the 4th as the Blazers then turn the Orange over only to see the Rockets Patrick Beverley miss in Regulation. The Rockets then took care of the visiting team in extras behind a 12-7 run as Jeremy Lin took control of Extras for Red Nation. Harden goes for 41 points on 12 for 28 from the field but had ten rebounds and six helpers. "Lin Sanity if Harris County Texas" out of the Pen took care of business he goes for 26 points including 10 for 12 from the Stripe.

The Blazers just let this one slip and the chances of the Visiting Team winning in Extras in the Logo is slim to none as harden shattered the idea of the Blazers stealing one on the road. L-Train led Rip City with 28 points and a dozen Oranges. Wes Matthews added 26 and Damian Lillard 21 points and four helpers as they still were out scored by Lin and Harden by some 67-47. Blazers 20 turnovers and put them in harm's way as they just blew this one.

Don't look now but Red Nation is just 2.5 games back of the Spurs at 44-19. The Blazers fall to 42-21 and stay four games back of the Northwest leading Thunder as OKC lose to the Lakers on Sunday.
