The Portland Trail Blazers went 1-3 over the past week, dropping their overall record to 8-13 on the season.
Over the week, the Blazers lost in a blowout to the Memphis Grizzlies, dropped relatively tight games against the Indiana Pacers and Dallas Mavericks, and comfortably defeated the Sacramento Kings in an NBA Cup game.
The 1-3 record prompted a small slide for the Blazers in the latest power rankings released by NBA.com reporter John Schuhmann. Portland dropped from No. 20 to No. 23 in the rankings. In his small write-up accompanying Portland’s placement, Schuhmann highlighted the Blazers’ 3-point shooting — or lack there of.
