TI he CL ac I camas P rint Blazers split two games at home INTERNET PHOTO Rasheed Wallace drives against a Denver opponent at the Rose Garden on Nov. 23. Wallace went on to score a season- high 30 points against the Nuggets. ELENA BORYSKA Sports Editor For the week of Nov. 13-20, the Portland Trail Blazers were 2-2. They won against Memphis and Charlotte, but lost to New York and Houston. Last week, the Blazers split both of their games, winning one out of two. Portland’s first game was a loss to the Sacramento Kings at Arco Arena, 95-83. Chris Webber, once again, didn’t play for the Kings; he is still out with an ankle injury from before the season started. Even without Webber, the Kings still managed to top the Blazers and scored the final 12 points of the game. Seven Blazers scored in double figures, including Bonzi Wells, who finished with 13. Shawn Kemp also had 12 points. Sacra mento point guard Mike Bibby was on fire, finishing with 25 points. He was helped by Damon Stoudamire’s self-prescribed stint on the injured list and Scottie Pippen’s knee injury. With those two out, the only players left for Coach Maurice Cheeks to put in as point guard were Erick Barkley and Rick Brunson, who both con tinually left Bibby open. Zach Randolph played the final minutes of the game in place of Rasheed Wallace, and something, possibly Cheeks’ decision, seemed to tick Wailace off quite a bit. Thankfully he got over it before the next game. Next up for the Blazers was a home game against the Denver Nuggets. Portland was greatly helped by Wallace’s season high 30 points, and won this one with a score of 97-90. In the two games before this, which were both losses,. Wallace was held to a com bined 20 points. But the Blazers have won the last five games whbn Wallace scored at least 20 points, while were only 2-5 when he didn’t reach that mark. Bonzi Wells sat this game out with a sore right knee. Wells has averaged 20.5 points over his first 13 games this season. Ruben Patterson scored 15 points in 44 minutes of play, while Stoudamire came back from the in jured list and contributed 10. Port land also committed; a season-low six turnovers.
