PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Cleveland Cavaliers haven't had any luck at Moda Center in recent years. And the way the Portland Trail Blazers are playing, it won't be any easier Thursday night when the teams collide there.
The Trail Blazers (41-26) have won 10 straight games overall and have prevailed in 16 of their last 17 outings in their home arena.
"They play well at home, we know that for sure," Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue told reporters.
The Cavaliers have lost in their last three visits to Portland, and none of them have been close: 101-82 in 2014-15, 105-76 in 2015-16 and 102-86 last season.
