The Portland Trail Blazers turned in one of their worst defensive efforts of the season their last time out, and with it went their three-game winning streak.Guarding the Sacramento Kings hasn’t proven to be nearly as difficult. The Trail Blazers look to get back on track Tuesday night when they host the Kings, who have been shut down offensively in losing four straight games against Portland. Coach Nate McMillan’s team had held its opponents to 87.7 points per game in winning three straight before heading to Denver on Sunday night, but the Trail Blazers struggled at both ends against the Nuggets.
Denver raced out to a 34-21 lead after one quarter en route to a 118-106 victory in which it shot 58.9 percent. Portland was held to 42.7 percent shooting. The Blazers are 4-16 when they allow 100 points, and 5-15 when they shoot less than 43 percent. After a rough game defensively, however, they’ve been able to bounce back. Portland’s allowed at least 110 points four previous times, and it’s yielded an average of 84.3 points in its next game. Portland hasn’t had a problem at either end over the past two seasons against Sacramento. The Blazers have averaged 103.0 points while giving up 87.8 to the Kings in winning the series’ past four meetings, including a 95-88 victory at the Rose Garden on Dec. 15 behind 25 points apiece from Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge.
