The Portland Trail Blazers gave the Cleveland Cavaliers a good run when the teams met on Friday night. Portland dominated the offensive glass, fed their forwards for multiple three-pointers, and stayed committed on defense for 48 minutes in a fashion seldom seen this season. As a result, they remained within striking distance of the Cavaliers for most of the contest. But a blistering fourth period from Cedi Osman, plus persistent scoring inside by the large Cavs lineup, proved too much for the Blazers to handle. It was a pretty loss, but a loss nonetheless, as Portland fell 114-101.
