CLEVELAND -- The first five weeks of the 2019-20 season have gone just about as bad for the Portland Trail Blazers as possible. And it shows no signs of improving.
The Trail Blazers, playing a Cavaliers team on a six-game losing streak that lost the night before in Dallas by 42 points, were out-rebounded, out-worked and foul-prone on the way to a 110-104 loss in front of a sellout crowd of 19,432 Saturday night in Cleveland.
Portland is now 5-12 overall and 4-8 on the road this season. They have lost four straight and 10 of their last 12.
