NBA:

Portland took down the Kings last night to get their 6th win in a row and move just 6 games below .500 at 23 and 29, and are now winners of 10 of the last 11 games. Anfernee Simons did not get traded and led the team with 30 points. There were no moves by the Blazers at yesterday’s trade deadline. They are now 3 games out of the 9th playoff seed. That finishes up the 7 game home stand. Next, a few big tests before the All Star break including two in Denver next week against the 3rd place Nuggets. The quick road trip starts in Minnesota tomorrow. Tip off at 5 against the Timberwolves.
