NBA:
Portland’s six game win streak was snapped Saturday in Minnesota. Now the team heads to Denver for two in a row against the Nuggets. Now 23 and 30, and a handful of games out of playoff contention, the franchise faces some decisions about how it wants to proceed the rest of the season: Push for the play-in tournament…Or try their luck in the draft lottery.
