Still in it
It looked like Portland would put the game away in the third quarter, taking a commanding 66-50 lead with just over four minutes left. After a tough first half, Brandon Roy carried the Blazers during a 20-6 run to oepn the third quarter, scoring 11 point during that stretch. But Seattle managed to…

All knotted up
Seattle and Portland are tied at 24-all at the end of the first quarter. Neither team is in much of a rhythm early on, but individually Wally Szczerbiak has shot the ball well offensively for Seattle off of the bench, finishing 5-of-7 from the floor including two 3-pointers. Szczerbiak has 12…
