Travis Outlaw hit a fadeaway jumper with 8.9 seconds to go and the Portland Trail Blazers snapped Detroit's seven-game winning streak with an 84-83 victory Wednesday night. Portland, which trailed by 14 points, went ahead 79-75 with 5:37 left on Steve Blake's 3-pointer. The Blazers led until Tayshaun Prince's layup with 2:54 left tied it at 79, and Detroit went ahead on Allen Iverson's layup.

This sh*t makes me sick
The Moonball Blog —
No, I am not talking about the Celtics recent losing spell. Check this from the "Notes" section of the Yahoo recap from tonight's Blazers-Pistons game: Wallace played for the Blazers from 1996-2004 and was part of the so-called “Jail Blazers” team that became more known for trouble off the court than for success on it.
