Trail Blazers Break Losing Streak Behind Big First Half Versus Hornets

PORTLAND -- Sometimes you need to go above and beyond in order to break an extended losing streak. The Trail Blazers, both as individuals and as a team, did just that Friday night.

The Trail Blazers put up their highest-scoring half in over eight years, got a season-high in scoring from one player and a career-high tying effort from another to come away with a 125-116 victory versus the Charlotte Hornets in front of a crowd of 18,399 Friday night at Moda Center.

“This was a win with progress in a major way,” said Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups.
