The Portland Trail Blazers harnessed the power of a four-game winning streak to bounce back in the latest round of NBA power rankings. Thanks to their unblemished record last week the Blazers returned to the fringes of the top 10 and moved out of the NBA play-in field for the time being.

After an awkward few weeks, the Blazers have righted the ship and have gotten out of the play-in spot.
