Kings-Trail Blazers Preview

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 (37-28) was held to 42.7 percent shooting.

"We never established an offensive rhythm the entire game,'' said Blazers All-Star Brandon Roy, who was 3 of 14. "Even myself, I couldn't get into the flow. We'd get close and then turn the ball over or we wouldn't execute offensively and then they would shoot the ball well."

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 (21-42). 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.

Tyreke Evans had 19 points and shot 7 of 9 from the field in that game but scored only three in the fourth quarter with Roy guarding him.

Evans has been solidifying his case as the Rookie of the Year frontrunner lately, scoring at least 20 points in six of the Kings' last seven games.

He had 24 on Sunday against Oklahoma City, but the Thunder's 45-33 rebounding edge was the difference in allowing them to escape Arco Arena with a 108-102 victory.

"We played them good, but they really killed us in the rebounding,'' Evans said. "They got us on the glass and were able to get second opportunities. That's what hurt us.''

Sacramento is averaging 95.4 points since the All-Star break - 6.6 lower than was it was scoring before - and part of that problem has been free-throw shooting.

The Kings are the Western Conference's worst team at the line, and they're shooting 68.1 percent in their last 11 games. Sacramento is 4-20 when it fails to make at least 72 percent of its free throws.

While Evans hasn't shown any signs of hitting a rookie wall, the Kings' other first-round pick has. Omri Casspi averaged 12.1 points on 47.1 percent shooting before the All-Star game, but he averaged 6.6 points on 38.0 percent shooting in his last seven games before coach Paul Westphal gave him the night off against the Thunder.

Donte Greene started and scored eight points in his place, but Casspi is expected to play Tuesday.

This will be Portland's first look at Carl Landry in a Kings uniform. The former Houston forward, who averaged 17.3 points against the Blazers with the Rockets this season, has scored at least 20 points in three straight games.

Blazers don't 'dominate' but pull out a win over the Kings

By Kerry Eggers, for NBA.com
Posted Wednesday March 10, 2010 1:43AM

PORTLAND, Ore.- (NBA.com exclusive) -- For the first time Tuesday night, Marcus Camby displayed the game that made the Trail Blazers target him before the NBA's trade deadline.

The veteran center, acquired in a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, did a little bit of everything in Portland's 88-81 victory over Sacramento at the Rose Garden.

Camby scored six points, grabbed eight rebounds, blocked five shots and even took a charge as the Blazers (38-28) won with an otherwise lackluster performance against the lowly Kings (21-43).

"Marcus was huge," Portland coach Nate McMillan said. "We don't win the game tonight if he doesn't make some of the plays he made."

Camby didn't play in Portland's 118-106 loss at Denver Sunday night due to a sprained left ankle. It was still sore Tuesday night, but he was still able to come through in the clutch. Over the final seven minutes, the 6-11 center was 2 for 2 from the field, grabbed three rebounds, had a steal and blocked three shots.

"Even though his stat line wouldn't knock your eyes out, Camby really dominated the game for them on the defensive end and was very much the difference," Sacramento coach Paul Westphal said. "He was a big impediment to our offense."

The Blazers won on a night when they were "up and down," all-star guard Brandon Roy said.

"We didn't dominate this game, but we'll take the win," said Roy, who scored a game-high 19 points to go with eight rebounds in 39 minutes. "We have to continue to improve. Our defense got better as the game went on, but offensively, we weren't very good tonight."

The game seemed there for the taking for Sacramento, with the score tied 74-74 and seven minutes left. Camby then knocked down an 18-foot jump shot to put Portland ahead for good, but it was lack of offense by the Kings - who closed the game with 2-for-12 shooting - that did them in.

"We played a really good team and had a chance to win in the last few minutes and came away dry," Westphal said. "Our poise down the stretch offensively left a lot to be desired.

"We didn't move the ball like we needed to, the last five minutes especially. We were standing around too much, fighting the shot clock too much. We had forced shots and it was not as smooth as it needs to be to get a win against a team like the Blazers."

The Blazers weren't satisfied with their performance, either, lamenting one portion of the game in particular. They took a 73-62 lead into the fourth quarter, and Sacramento started the period on a 10-0 run.

"A big part of that was, we missed shots," McMillan said. "We've seen this before. We missed some open looks, and you have to make those shots."

"We can't let (the Kings) start a quarter like that," Roy said. "We had a couple of leads there, but didn't do a good job putting them away."

The Blazers came away with a common thought about the game.

"It's a win," McMillan said. "We got some stops and were able to score some baskets in the fourth quarter and eventually get control of the game and put it away.

"We know we can play better. We have to play better in order to win our remaining games."

"We won, and that was the ultimate goal," said Portland forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who had 13 points, seven rebounds and four assists. "We know we have to be sharper and finish games better than we did. We have to sustain what we do early and finish strong."

"It wasn't our best effort, but any time you play against those teams that are playing for nothing, you pretty much get their best effort," Camby said. "We were fortunate to get away with the win, while understanding we can play a whole lot better."

The Kings are out of the playoff picture, but the future holds promise, forward Carl Landry said.

"We have great talent in this locker room," said Landry, who contributed 17 points and eight rebounds. "Being a young team, we just have to learn how to execute down the stretch when the game is on the line. You can see on the court, we're growing. We just have to learn to play together."

McMillan hopes his team - currently in the eighth spot in positioning for the playoffs in the Western Conference, a half-game behind San Antonio - will play with the effort displayed by Camby Tuesday night, especially in the final minutes.

"We have to have everybody going if we're going to get to that level of play that we need to get to," the fifth-year Portland coach said. "Everybody has to play with the same focus, the same intensity, the same scrappiness. Once we get that as a unit, we'll be stronger. Collectively, we have to do a better job."
