Bobcats-Trail Blazers Preview

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD
Posted Mar 04 2013 12:53AM

While the Portland Trail Blazers were one of the league's worst rebounding teams during February, they opened this month with a season-best effort on the boards.

Portland shouldn't have much trouble building off that performance on Monday night when they host the NBA-worst Charlotte Bobcats, who have been historically bad on the glass lately.

After a season-worst four-game home skid in January, the Trail Blazers (27-31) have won six of eight at the Rose Garden following a 109-94 victory over Minnesota on Saturday. It was just their second win in 10 games overall, and they are still 4 1/2 games behind Houston for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

"We know what we need to do. We need to win games, especially on our home floor," said guard Damian Lillard, who had a game-high 24 points against the Timberwolves.

Portland ranked near the bottom of the NBA with 39.4 rebounds per game last month, but pulled down a season-high 55 against a Timberwolves team missing its entire starting frontcourt of Kevin Love, Andrei Kirilenko and Nikola Pekovic due to injuries.

J.J. Hickson, the team's leading rebounder (10.5 rpg), finished with 18 points and 16 rebounds, while Nicolas Batum, LaMarcus Aldridge and Meyers Leonard combined for 23 boards.

Hickson enters this contest on a tear, averaging 18.8 points on 68.5 percent shooting and 13.6 rebounds while recording five straight double-doubles. He'll try to keep it going against a Charlotte team that ranks near the bottom of the league in rebound differential (minus-4.7).

The Bobcats (13-46) were outrebounded 62-24 in a 30-point loss at Utah on Friday and 60-31 in a 119-83 defeat at Sacramento on Sunday. Their minus-67 rebounding differential is the NBA's worst over a two-game span dating back to at least the 1985-86 season.

"You have to stay with it. You have to have a little bit of pride individually as a team," forward Josh McRoberts said of the team's overall struggles.

Byron Mullens (7.8 per game) and Bismack Biyombo (7.1) lead the team in rebounding, but have 12 combined over the last two contests. Mullens had 12 points and 12 rebounds, and the Bobcats were outrebounded 48-41 in a 118-112 overtime loss to Portland on Dec. 3.

Ben Gordon led the way with 29 points on 8-of-12 shooting from 3-point range and Kemba Walker added 22 in that game, but both guards are mired in slumps. Gordon has averaged 5.8 points on 27.3 percent shooting in his last 10 games, while Walker has averaged 11.3 on 31.4 percent shooting in his last three.

The Bobcats, who have lost 41 of 47 overall, have averaged 78.3 points on 37.2 percent shooting on their road trip that wraps up at Portland.

Aldridge and Batum combined for 42 points and 26 rebounds for the Trail Blazers in the first meeting, but Hickson had only two points.

Portland has averaged 102.5 points - 5.3 above its season average - in its last eight at home. The Trail Blazers should be able to continue that trend against the Bobcats, who have given up 107.7 points per game during their six-game losing streak.

The Trail Blazers have won four in a row at home over Charlotte and six of seven overall between the teams.

Blazers rout the Bobcats 122-105

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) The Trail Blazers were only in the first quarter against the woeful Bobcats when Nicolas Batum took off and lobbed the ball off the backboard into the hands of charging rookie Meyers Leonard for a dunk.

The play didn't go over well with Blazers coach Terry Stotts, who warned the duo about sportsmanship during halftime of Portland's 122-105 victory over Charlotte on Monday.

"I didn't care for it. In fact, it was kind of messing with the game a little bit," Stotts said afterward.

The pass-off-the-glass dunk had no impact on the outcome. LaMarcus Aldridge had 23 points and 14 rebounds, leading seven Blazers in double figures.

Batum and rookie Damian Lillard each finished with 20 points and Portland shot a season-best 59.8 percent from the field. Leonard had a season-high 15 points off the bench - including that dunk from Batum.

"It was probably a little risky, but hey," Leonard shrugged.

Ramon Sessions had 18 points off the bench for the Bobcats, who have lost seven straight games. Rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 17 points.

The Bobcats were playing the second of a back-to-back and looked like it. They lost 119-83 at Sacramento on Sunday night after the Kings scored 43 points in the third quarter.

One thing that improved for Charlotte was rebounding. After they were outrebounded 61-30 against the Kings, the Bobcats finished with a 44-41 advantage over the Blazers.

"One thing is true - you have got to know how you lost. They are strong at the pick-and-roll game and they found their 3-ball, that's what hurt us," Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap said. "We changed some schemes in the second half, and they still shot well."

The Bobcats, who lost 18 in a row earlier this season, have only 13 wins - a league low.

The Blazers, still fighting for a spot in the playoffs, won three of four games on their homestand but now head out on the road with games at Memphis, San Antonio and New Orleans. Portland is 3 1/2 games back of Utah for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot, while the Lakers are two games back of the Jazz.

"It's gut-check time," Lillard said. "If we're going to make this push for the playoffs we've got to win on the road."

Batum hit a 3-pointer that gave the Blazers an early 24-16 lead. His lob off the backboard for Leonard's dunk made it 30-21.

The French forward said the move is something he does with Leonard and some of the other players in practice. Although Sessions was on him, Batum said that had nothing really to do with it.

"I don't know why I did it in a game," Batum said.

But immediately he knew he was in trouble with Stotts: "He's like, `You're lucky. You're lucky on this one,"' Batum said.

Lillard, who has won the West's rookie of the month honors for four straight months, hit a 3-pointer that put Portland ahead 66-51 late in the first half, and the Blazers went on to lead 68-55 at the break.

It was the most first-half points for Portland this season. The Blazers shot just over 65 percent.

The Blazers maintained a healthy lead throughout the third quarter, but Kidd-Gilchrist got the Bobcats closest when his basket narrowed the deficit to 74-65. Portland led by as many as 17 points in the second half.

Gerald Henderson's dunk pulled Charlotte within 108-96 with 3:12 left in the game, but Lillard answered with a 3-pointer for the Blazers. Stotts didn't send most of his starters to the bench until there was only 1:05 left. Later he said he just wanted to make sure Portland got the win.

"We have to stick with our principles," Henderson said. "It's tough to lose every night, but we've got to stay positive, keep our attitudes right, and continue to try and get better, practice-by-practice and game-by-game."

Notes: Portland has won five straight against Charlotte at the Rose Garden. ... Atlanta Falcons running back Jacquizz Rodgers was at the game. Rodgers played at Oregon State. .. A fan in the stands held a sign with Lillard's face and the words "We couldn't be prouder." ... Portland's 122 points were a season high in regulation. ... Portland was coming off a 109-94 victory over the short-handed Timberwolves on Saturday.

Notebook: Trail Blazers 122, Bobcats 105

Kerry Eggers, for NBA.com
Posted Tue Mar 05, 2013 2:57 AM - Updated Tue Mar 05, 2013 2:57 AM

THE FACTS: LaMarcus Aldridge led seven players in double figures with 23 points as Portland handled Charlotte 122-105 Monday night at the Rose Garden. Aldridge also had 14 rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots for the Trail Blazers (28-31), who shot a season-best 59.8 percent from the field and were 12-for-24 from 3-point range. Ramon Sessions scored 18 points on 8-for-11 shooting and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist collected 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Bobcats (13-47), who lost their seventh straight game.

QUOTABLE: "We shouldn't have beat them the last time we played them. Our antennas were up. Everybody was prepared to play. We knew we were capable of losing this game because of the type of team they are. They play hard, they have guys who can score -- it's the NBA. You can get beat any game."

-- Portland's Damian Lillard, referring to the Blazers' 118-112 overtime win at Charlotte on Dec. 3.

THE STAT: The game was won at the 3-point line. Portland was 12-for-24, Charlotte 1-for-10.

TURNING POINT: The Blazers led 41-37 early in the second quarter, then outscored the Bobcats 25-14 over the next six minutes to go in front 66-51. The visitors never got closer than nine points the rest of the way.

QUOTABLE II: "We just couldn't stop them from scoring. I felt like we scored enough points to win, but we couldn't match them with their 3s. That's a lot of points to score."

-- Charlotte's Gerald Henderson

HOT: Portland's Nicolas Batum started the game 6-for-6, including 4-for-4 from 3-point range. He finished with 8-for-11 shooting for 20 points.

NOT: Charlotte's Kemba Walker finished 5-for-20 from the field, but he was 2-for-16 until late in the game.

GOOD MOVE: On a three-on-one fast break late in the third quarter, Lillard made a behind-the-back bounce pass to Batum, who drew the defender, then tossed to Meyers Leonard for a dunk.

BAD MOVE: In the first quarter, Batum took a breakaway pass from Eric Maynor. With Charlotte's Sessions in pursuit, Batum tossed the ball off the backboard into the hands of a trailing Meyers Leonard, who dunked. Coach Terry Stotts shook his head in disapproval along the Portland sideline.

QUOTABLE III: "Coach goes, 'Don't.' He told me, 'You're lucky on this one. Good thing it worked. Next time I'll kill you.'"

-- Batum, on Stotts' reaction to his pass off the glass to Leonard for a dunk

NOTABLE: Leonard, the 7-foot-1 rookie, scored a season-high 15 points and had six rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench. ... In its series with Charlotte, Portland has won five in a row at home and seven of its last eight meetings overall. ... The Blazers' 122 points were the most they've scored in regulation this season. They beat Orlando 125-119 in overtime on Jan. 7 Their 68 first-half points were the most they've scored in any half this season. ... Portland's J.J. Hickson, who was 7-for-9 from the field, has shot 50 percent or better in a franchise-record 22 straight games. ... Charlotte is 2-15 in its last 17 games. ... The Bobcats, outrebounded 60-31 in a 119-83 loss at Sacramento on Saturday night, won the battle of the boards 44-41 Monday night, grabbing 21 off the offensive glass ... Wesley Matthews, who made four 3-pointers, passed Martell Webster to move into seventh place on the franchise career list with 404 treys. ... Lillard now ranks fifth on Portland's single-season rookie scoring list with 1,094 points.

UP NEXT: For the Trail Blazers, Wednesday @ Memphis, Friday @ San Antonio, Sunday @ New Orleans. For the Bobcats, Wendesday vs. Brooklyn, Friday vs. Oklahoma City, Saturday @ Washington.
