Wrap-Up -- Regardless of their record or spot in the standings, the Wine & Gold have always struggled to win in Portland. Wednesday night was no different.
The Cavaliers hung tough early and mounted an admirable comeback late, but the Blazers were simply too much from beyond the arc – drilling 16 triples en route to the 129-112 decision at the Moda Center.
Portland scored at least 30 points in each of the first three quarters and got double-digit efforts from all five starters, but it still wasn’t an easy night at the office against a Cavaliers squad in the middle of an 11-day road trip.
