... and made both shots to make it 97-90. Rudy Fernandez and Sergio Rodriguez got Portland out of its funk, which lasted all night Monday and early into Tuesday's game. Fernandez made his first three shots for a personal 7-0 run to tie the game at 21. Rodriguez would then beat the horn with a long jumper to make it 25-all at the end of the first quarter.

Both teams closed it out fairly well, and once again it seemed only possible on Planet Amazing Fortune that Portland would lead, 67-66. Dave's recap at BE for last night paints the picture: So...last night the Blazers ...
