Trail Blazers defeat Grizzlies, continuing winning streak
The Associated Press
VANCOUVER, British Colum
bia — Damon Stoudamire would
n’t come out and say it, but his
Portland Trail Blazers, in the
midst of a three-games-in-three
nights stretch, got the break they
needed against the lowly Vancou
ver Grizzlies.
“When you play teams like
Vancouver, you always have it
in the back of your mind that
you can turn it on and turn it off
when you want to,” said
Stoudamire. While admitting
that that’s not a good attitude to
have, it is the reality in this con
densed schedule.
Stoudamire turned it on in the
third quarter, scoring all 10 of his
points as the league-leading Trail
Blazers improved to 14-3 and
won their seventh straight with
Monday night’s 92-73 win over
the Grizzlies. Vancouver lost its
eighth straight and 11th in 12 out
ings.
“Even when they got close, you
always felt, ‘There’s no need to
worry.’ There wasn’t a sense of ur
gency, because we could put
them any time we wanted to,”
Stoudamire added.
The Trail Blazers needed the
gimme as they entered the night
a little banged up. Both
Stoudamire (bruised right heel)
and center Arvydas Sabonis
(slightly sprained right knee)
suffered injuries in Sunday’s
111-71 win over the Houston
Rockets.
After blowing a 14-point first
half lead by allowing the Grizzlies
within seven at the break, the
Trail Blazers put the game away
late in the third quarter and early
into the fourth. After Vancouver’s
Shareef Abdur-Rahim hit two free
throws to cut Portland’s lead to
62-53 with 3:45 left in the third,
the Blazers went on a 17-5 run to
blow the game open. Greg Antho
ny capped the run, sinking a 3
point basket with 8:05 left in the
game.
The turning point came when
Stoudamire, with Grizzlies rookie
Mike Bibby in his face, hit a 3
pointer to put Portland up 70-56
with 1:16 left in the third. The
bucket came on the Blazers’ ensu
ing possession after Vancouver's
Abdur-Rahim completed a three
point play at the other end.
The Grizzlies went 5:36, in
cluding the first 4:32 of the fourth
quarter, without scoring a point
until Bryant Reeves sank a 4-foot
er.
Blazers coach Mike Dunleavy,
who got his starters out of the
game early in the fourth quarter,
wanted them out even earlier.
“It should’ve been double-dig
its in the first half. But the bottom
line is we got a win and we
played well enough,” said Dun
leavy.
Jimmy Jackson came off the
bench to score a season-high 21
points, while Brian Grant finished
with 14 points and nine re
bounds. Grant hasn’t missed a
shot in two games. After going 4
for-4 from the field and hitting
both free throws on Sunday,
Grant finished 5-for-5 from the
field and 4-for-4 from the foul line
against Vancouver.
Abdur-Rahim scored 19 points
and had six rebounds for the Griz
zlies, who posted a season low for
points.
As the losses pile up again, Ab
dur-Rahim continues to take them
personally.
“I look at it as kind of like being
in a street fight. Sometimes you’re
fighting a bigger guy and you have
to fight and claw and scratch
away, and I don’t feel like we’re
always doing that,” said Abdur
Rahim.
Grizzlies center Bryant Reeves,
who finished with five points and
five rebounds in 32 minutes,
heard the loudest boos of his ca
reer at GM Place when he took the
court in the third quarter.
“You hear them and it’s some
thing you have to live with,” said
Reeves, who’s been under the mi
croscope after reporting to camp
almost 40 pounds overweight.
“Physically, 1 feel fine.... I have to
find my groove.”
A sloppy first half in which the
teams combined for 25 turnovers
(Vancouver had 13) ended with
Portland leading 44-37. The Griz
zlies trailed by as many as 14
points before getting back into the
game by outscoring the Blazers
12-6 over the final 2:42 of the half.
The Grizzlies are suddenly
plauged by injury problems as
guards Lee Mayberry (knee
strain), Doug West (sprained foot)
and center Tony Massenburg
(sprained wrist) did not play.
With West out, rookie Felipe
Lopez got his first career start for
Vancouver, and finished with 12
points and six rebounds.
