Wrap-Up -- That might’ve been the toughest 13-point win the Blazers have had all season.
It looked like Portland would coast to its fourth straight win after building up a 23-point first half lead, but Cleveland clawed its way back, eventually slicing the deficit to just a deuce early in the fourth quarter. But the Cavs couldn’t quite close the deal from there – falling, 123-110, on Monday night at The Q.
The Blazers were good in the first quarter, but absolutely caught fire in the second – going 15-for-19 from the floor, canning all eight three-point attempts and finishing with a 42-point period.
