Portland Trail Blazers Team Report - January 29

(Basketball News) - The Portland Trail Blazers try for their third straight win this evening when they close a three-game road trip in Atlanta against the Hawks at Philips Arena.

On Wednesday, Zach Randolph posted 21 points and nine rebounds, as the Trail Blazers halted Memphis’ franchise-record winning streak at eight games with an 88-76 victory over the Grizzlies at The Pyramid.

Rasheed Wallace added 16 points and 10 boards for Portland, which has won three of its last four games. Despite the recent success, the Blazers are just 4-10 over their last 14.

The Blazers also got 12 points apiece from Derek Anderson and Ruben Patterson.

A win tonight would give Portland its first three-game winning streak from November 28-December 5.

The Blazers, who opened the season with 10 consecutive road losses, have won two straight on the road and are 5-16 away from home this season.

Portland defeated Atlanta earlier in the year, but could be at a disadvantage tonight, as the home team in this series has won six of the last seven matchups. The Blazers, though, have won four straight and eight of the last 10 matchups over the Hawks, including three of their last five in Dixie.
