The Blazers were down 38-13 after the first quarter, but then they tightened up the screws on defense and shot the ball well the rest of the way to pull out a 1-point victory!  Zach Randolph had another outstanding game with 31 points & 12 rebounds.  Travis Outlaw was outstanding off of the bench with 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 6 blocked shots.  Jarrett Jack played well as the leader of the attack with 13 points and 5 assists.  Jack also played outstanding on defense against Chris Paul.

This was a HUGE victory for the young Blazers.  The Blazers improve their record to 4-2 on the young season.
