The Portland Trail Blazers are enjoying their best scoring stretch in 12 years. A matchup with the Indiana Pacers doesn’t figure to slow them down.
Coming off a successful road trip, the Blazers face the struggling Pacers and their porous defense Wednesday night.
Portland (36-27) has scored more than 100 points in five straight games for the first time since a six-game run from Feb. 4-17, 1998. Though the Blazers played an overtime game during their current streak, losing 115-111 to Chicago on Saturday night, they had already reached triple digits by the end of regulation.
That was the only defeat Portland suffered during a five-game trip, averaging 105.4 points. Now the Blazers look to earn their second consecutive season series sweep of the Pacers (20-40).
