Today's interesting stat comes courtesy of
NBA.com's Around the Association.
Throughout their victorious stretch, the Blazers have rode the back of Brandon Roy, who seemingly picks Portland up whenever it hits a rough patch. Once again the Blazers followed their successful formula as Roy fired off 13 of his 17 points after halftime to power Portland past Seattle. Jarrett Jack provided a spark off the bench, adding 17 points and four assists. "We're not looking at it like, let's not lose," Roy said. "We can win these games." With the victory the Blazers became the first team to go on an 11-game winning streak following a 50-loss season.
I think that teams with this kind of win streak also made the playoffs most or all of the time, too. I don't event want to think of the "P" word...
