The Blazers played hard in the first half, but wore down on their second night of a back to backer after losing last night in Minnesota.  Zach Randolph continued his fine play this season with 26 points & 11 rebounds.  The bench gave the Blazers great energy an kept them in the game.  Travis Outlaw (16 points, 2 blocks), Juan Dixon (14 points) and LeMarcus Aldridge (13 points, 8 rebounds and 3 steals) all came off the bench and played well.

The Blazers are getting quality play off the bench, now they need some of their starters to produce.  The Blazers have fallen to 4-5 of the season.
