PORTLAND, Ore. – This is why, when defining a team, you need to look at more than one result. It’s why you look at the process in addition to the score, when you’re evaluating performance. It’s also why, when a goalkeeper spills a ball to Cristhian Parades or a late foul is drawn by Samuel Armenteros (as happened against Los Angeles FC and San Jose, respectively), you remember: not every break is going to go your way. Six-game winning streaks are built on effort, execution, and performance, but they’re also built on timing; or, as some might put it, a little bit of luck.
Despite extending unbeaten streak to seven, Timbers frustrated chances don't lead to full three points
