Trail Blazers-Warriors Preview

Posted Dec 24 2010 9:02AM

Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge and Golden State's Monta Ellis have been playing some of the best basketball of their respective careers over the last week. The only time they didn't have huge performances during that stretch came when they played against each other.

Aldridge looks to lead the banged-up Trail Blazers to a fourth straight victory Saturday night at Oracle Arena, while Ellis and the Warriors try to win back-to-back games for the first time in more than six weeks.

Portland (15-14) and Golden State met for the first time this season last Saturday at the Rose Garden, with the short-handed Trail Blazers holding on for a 96-95 victory.

Aldridge had 17 points and 12 rebounds, but missed a key jumper with 9.9 seconds to play. That gave the Warriors (10-18) a chance to win it, but Ellis, who finished with 26 points, missed a long jumper with 0.8 seconds left.

Although Aldridge and Ellis each missed clutch shots in that game, they seemingly haven't missed many others over the past week.

Aldridge finished with 29 points and a career-high 19 rebounds in Monday's 106-80 win over Milwaukee. He has tied a career high with four straight double-doubles while averaging 29.3 points - 10.2 better than his season average - on 61.8 percent shooting.

His sudden offensive surge could not have come at a better time for the Blazers, who have been without Brandon Roy (sore knee) in the last three games and centers Marcus Camby (strained shoulder) and Joel Przybilla (sprained ankle) in the last two.

Roy is expected to miss another week, and without the three-time All-Star on the court, Aldridge has been more aggressive.

"He's playing like a monster and that's what we need him to do," guard Wesley Matthews said of Aldridge. "He's always had it but he's been deferring a little bit. Now he's putting the team on his back and carrying us through this stretch."

Ellis has long been Golden State's go-to scorer, but he has been particularly impressive lately.

He's averaging 35.0 points - 9.4 better than his season average - over the last four games while making 9 of 18 from 3-point range. The Warriors have won two of those contests after losing 12 of 13, though they haven't won two straight since Nov. 8-10.

Ellis scored nine of his 36 points in overtime in Tuesday's 117-109 victory over Sacramento.

"Monta is just so tough to guard 1-on-1," center David Lee said. "In overtime, the bigs usually get tired and they can't help out as much on him. You more or less get out of his way and let Monta do his thing."

Good things tend to happen for the Warriors when Ellis takes over games. Golden State is 7-5 when Ellis has more than 26 points, but 3-13 when he is held under his scoring average.

Ellis is averaging 28.2 points in five games against the Blazers since the start of last season, but was limited to 17 points in a 110-105 loss in the last meeting at Oracle Arena on March 11. Roy had 41 points in that game for Portland, which snapped a nine-game losing streak at Golden State.

The Blazers, though, have been struggling on the road, losing three straight and seven of eight.

Ellis leads Warriors past Blazers 109-102

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Monta Ellis again carried the Golden State Warriors another comeback victory.

Ellis had 39 points, and the Warriors scored 11 straight to erase a six-point deficit in the fourth quarter and beat the Portland Trail Blazers 109-102 on Saturday night in their first Christmas home game.

Ellis, who is third in the NBA in scoring at 26 points per game, has netted 119 points the past three games, the best scoring stretch of his career.

"He's our MVP," coach Keith Smart said. "He's doing the job that's necessary for a player like him who can do so many things for a team. He's our MVP and he's moving into that selective group of players in the NBA that play at a high level every single night and that's what he's done."

David Lee added 21 points, and Dorell Wright scored five of his 16 during the decisive spurt to help the Warriors win back-to-back games for the first time since Nov. 8-10.

After losing their first 17 games when trailing after three quarters, the Warriors have overcome late deficits to win the past two games.

They didn't have to dig out of as deep a hole as they did Tuesday night, when they rallied from 16 points down in the fourth quarter to beat the Sacramento Kings in overtime. But they still needed clutch plays late to snap Portland's three-game winning streak.

"That's really the mark of a good team," Lee said. "We have to find a way to win those games and grind a few of those out. If you can win those gams, that's the difference of being a 35- or 40-win team or winning 50 games."

LaMarcus Aldridge gave the Blazers a 97-91 lead with just over 5 minutes left and it looked as if Portland was in position to win for the second straight time in Oakland following nine losses in a row here.

But Wesley Matthews fouled Ellis on a 3-pointer to start Golden State's run. Ellis made all three free throws, and Wright hit a tying 3-pointer on the Warriors' next possession. Wright then stole a pass from Rudy Fernandez and went the other way for a dunk that gave the Warriors their first lead of the quarter.

Reggie Williams capped the run with another 3-pointer that made it 102-97. Ellis put the game away with a long jumper, followed by a steal and layup that gave the Warriors a 106-99 lead with 1:04 to play.

The Blazers shot 31 percent in the fourth quarter, missing 10 straight shots from the field in one key stretch.

"We got after it," Ellis said. "We played defense, contested every shot, and did whatever we needed to do to get this win because we needed it."

Matthews led Portland with 25 points and Nicolas Batum added 18. Aldridge scored 15, and Andre Miller had 12 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds.

"They got momentum on their side and they just ran with it," said Aldridge, who missed a dunk in the fourth quarter. "We got to take care of the ball better. We weren't scoring but we were turning it over and they were running out getting easy shots on us."

The teams met for the second straight Saturday night, following last week's 96-95 win in Portland by the Blazers when Ellis missed a potential game-winner at the buzzer. Portland won that game despite missing injured starters Brandon Roy, Batum and Marcus Camby. Roy was the only one of those three not back for this game, missing his fourth straight with an injured left knee.

The Warriors got point guard Stephen Curry back after he missed six games with a sprained right ankle. Curry was more a facilitator than shooter, with 11 assists and only four points on 2-for-15 shooting.

It was a tight first half with neither team leading by more than five points at any juncture. Ellis single-handedly kept the Warriors close, scoring 18 of his 24 first-half points in the second quarter. He scored on a scintillating left-handed reverse to cut Portland's lead to 49-48 as the fans chanted "M-V-P!" repeatedly late in the half.

He barely missed a half-court shot at the buzzer, shortly after Matthews gave Portland a 57-56 lead with a dunk. This marked the fourth time this season Ellis scored at least 24 points in the opening half - a mark reached only seven other times by everyone else in the NBA.

"He's very aggressive," Portland coach Nate McMillan said. "He can flat out score. He's fearless going to the basket. When he has his jump shot going it's very tough to defend him, and he had it going early.'

Notes: This is the Warriors' 11th Christmas game since moving West in 1962-63. They last played on Christmas in 1984 at Portland. ... The Blazers fell to 14-3 on Christmas, including five wins against Golden State from 1977-84. ... The Warriors wore red shoes with green socks.

Blazers-Warriors notebook

By Geoff Lepper, for NBA.com
Posted Sunday December 26, 2010 2:14AM

THE FACTS: Monta Ellis scored 39 points and added seven assists as the Golden State Warriors beat the Portland Trail Blazers 109-102 to craft their first winning streak since early November. The Warriors have now won two straight, both with fourth-quarter comebacks, after opening the year 0-16 when trailing after three periods. David Lee provided 21 points, seven rebounds and five assists, while Dorell Wright added 16 points, eight boards, four assists and three steals.

QUOTABLE: "They've shown that they can get back into games, make the right plays. You don't want to be down, but sometimes the game is going to dictate that you will be down. And what you've seen is a lot of character. . . . Being here so long, we have a tendency to focus on the negative and the bad that's going on with our organization, our team. That's not my style."
-- Warriors coach Keith Smart

THE STAT: LaMarcus Aldridge came into the game off a 29-point, 19-rebound performance in Milwaukee -- the latter number being a career-high -- but the Trail Blazers star continued his personal struggles at Oracle Arena. His 7-for-21 shooting night -- including a 2-for-8 mark in the fourth quarter, when Portland let a 6-point lead slip -- lowered his career mark from the floor in Oakland to 39.2 percent (38-for-97).

TURNING POINT: The Trail Blazers led 97-91 with just more than 4 minutes left, but their seeming command provided illusory as Golden State scored 11 uninterrupted points to wrest back control. The run began with a trio of foul shots from Ellis, fouled on a 3-pointer, then continued with treys by Wright and Reggie Williams.

HOT: David Lee showed signs that his badly infected left elbow, which has hampered his shooting form for weeks, may have put the injury behind him, going 8-for-11 from the floor and 5-for-6 at the line to outplay Aldridge.

NOT: Portland coach Nate McMillan wanted to take advantage of Aldridge and Andre Miller in the post. The Warriors negated the former option with creative double teams. As for the latter, Miller simply couldn't hit the shots he got, going 4-for-15 to help sink Portland's chances despite a 53-32 advantage on the flass.

QUOTABLE II: "This loss was not because of what Golden State did, this was all on us. We did not execute down the stretch or play disciplined basketball on either end of the floor."
-- McMillan

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Marcus Camby returned to the Trail Blazers' lineup after missing two games due to injury and gathered up 13 rebounds and three blocks in 23 minutes.

GOOD MOVE: Williams had a poor first half (1-for-4 floor, 0-for-2 on 3-pointers) and didn't play in the third quarter. But Smart's continued faith was paid off in a fourth period where Williams had seven points and three rebounds, playing the final 10:47 as the Warriors finished in smallball mode.

ROOKIE WATCH: Warriors big man Ekpe Udoh continued to impress, delivering four points, three blocks and lending a defensive bite that led Smart to say the No. 6 selection is "climbing up the charts."

NOTABLE: Stephen Curry returned from a six-game absence due to a sprained right ankle and had a season-high-tying 11 assists but missed 13 of 15 shots, including all five from deep. . . . Wesley Matthews led Portland with 25 points but committed five turnovers. . . . Portland's 53 rebounds were a season high. . . . Warriors forward Brandan Wright, who missed 18 games due to a lower back strain, suited up for Golden State for the first time since Nov. 13 but did not see any action in a DNP-CD. . . . Portland fell to 14-3 all-time on Christmas Day; it was the Blazers' first Christmas loss to the Warriors in six such meetings.
