After a rough stretch to end November and start December, the Trail Blazers managed to stabilize themselves a bit last week with back-to-back wins at home versus the Suns and Timberwolves. While there probably wasn’t much to take away from beating a moribund Phoenix team by 22 points, pulling away from in the final two minutes to defeat the Timberwolves, a team that dominated the Trail Blazers in the previous meeting, seemed like a step in the right direction. We won’t have to wait long to find out of Saturday’s win was a sign of better things to come or just one good game in an otherwise disappointing stretch of performances with games this week versus the Rockets, Grizzlies and Raptors.
