Blazers lost 3 games in a row from april 20-23rd... first 2 by 1 point and the 3rd game by 2 vs mem. then played mem again at home and lost by 7. ever since then... starting april 27 the blazers have gone 10-2 and the 2nd loss was to PHX by ONE.
they went 5-1 on a road trip to start the hot streak. Should have beat PHX but wrong guy got fouled to shoot free throws late with Portland up 1.
they lost to the nuggets by 1 during that 3 game stretch of losses by 1 and 2 pts.
they lost to the nuggets earlier in the season by 5 (tied going into 4th) but Jokic scored 41 to do it and Murray had 24 and Portland didn't have CJ and hadn't traded for Powell yet.
Portland wins this series
