The Portland Trail Blazers (33-30) get their last regular season shot at beating the Cleveland Cavaliers (36-27) tonight at the Quicken Loans Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. Pacific.

Portland enters tonight’s game having won the first two games of a five-game road trip. Road victories against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday and the New York Knicks on Saturday constituted only the second time this season that the Trail Blazers won two consecutive away games, with the first such instance coming against Minnesota and Chicago in early January.

Tonight’s game poses what could very well be the most difficult challenge for the Blazers on this trip. Cleveland is only three games better this season Portland from a win-loss perspective, but picking up a victory tonight would require the Blazers to do something they’ve yet to do: beat LeBron James in Cleveland.

James has yet to suffer defeat at the hands of the Trail Blazers while playing on his home court since entering the league in ‘03-’04 season. Cleveland leads the series 6-3 since James was taken No.1 in the 2003 NBA draft.

The last time the Blazers beat the Cavaliers in Cleveland was a 114-95 victory on February 2, 2003. Zydrunas Ilgauskas is the only player from either team who played in that game and is still with his current team (Darius Miles played in that game, though he was a member of the Cavs at the time). Not a single player on the Portland roster has defeated the Cavaliers in Cleveland since joining the Trail Blazers.

More recently, the Cavaliers beat the Blazers 84-83 at the Rose Garden on January 30. Portland lead by as many as 14 in the second half of that game, but a 17-point fourth quarter by LeBron James, which included the go-ahead bucket with 0.9 seconds left in regulation, gave Cleveland just enough to sneak away with the victory. The Blazers scored just 15 points collectively in the fourth quarter of that loss, which still stands as their lowest fourth quarter output of the season. Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge each scored 16 for the Blazers in that game.

The game airs at 4 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet Channel 37 with Mike Barrett and Mike Rice calling the action. And as always, you can listen to Brian Wheeler and Antonio Harvey call the game on the Blazers Radio Network.
