trailBLAZERS 97 WIZARDS 105 F...@ADIBasketball Poster Boys "DAME" of RIP City vs WALL-STAR of D.C. Wizardry was won by WALL and the WIZ!..."LOGO WATCH" as the WIZARDS have their "Peepers" set on catching the #3 Raptors & #4 Bulls! #PORvsWSH #TheOnlyGameInTown #WizKidsDC

The Portland Trailblazers felt at least on this night "Life" without Wes Matthews Jr. Rip City on the 2nd leg of back to back Motel Swing looked spent late in this one as the Wizards and All-Star PG Wall-Star took full advantage of that!

Washington blew the game open before break leading 60-40 by halftime. C'mon NBA Heads with the Wiz with the night of last night and the Blazers up in Toronto then scouting reports was let's get out in transition to see what kind of legs the Blazers have especially this late in the 82-game trek! Wall-Star and the Real Deal Bradley Beal each had 11 points going in for replenishment!

The Wiz then opened a 23-point lead 69-46 just over the eight minute mark only to see the Blazers come storming back to cut that deficit to seven 81-74. The "Rip City Three" of L-Train, "Dame", and Aaron led that charge with help from that bench.

The Blazers then go to within four points 94-90 on a L-Train "J" only to see he Wizards end the game on a 11-7 run highlighted by Wall-Star going Nerf-Rim with under 15 seconds remaining in the game. Washington would win 105-97 as Beal and Wall-Star would lead with 23 and 21 points respectively. Wall-Star would also hand out eleven assists and grab nine boards just missing a triple-double!

L-Train had a game-high 24 points and a dozen boards with "Dame" Lillard adding 14 points and handing out nine helpers. Blazers dug themselves too big of a hole on the road on the 2nd leg of a back to back motel swing while allowing the Wiz to shoot 50% from the field and almost 60% from the arc it's not Rocket Science and Numbers Never Lie...Lol!

Wiz moves to 39-28 while Portland falls to 44-21...
