New York Knicks vs. Portland Trail
Blazers
Monday, November 25, 2013
Pre-Game News and Notes
The Knicks will look to end their losing
streak in one of the toughest environments against one of the top teams in the
NBA currently in Portland against the Trail Blazers at the Rose Garden. The Blazers
have been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA as they currently sit second
in the Western Conference with a 12-2 record, behind only the 12-1 San Antonio
Spurs. This game has everything going against the Knicks, as they have
notoriously struggled in Portland, losing 10 of their last 12 games there against
some underwhelming Blazers teams. The current Blazers are also riding a 10 game
winning streak, its longest since 2007; this is the worst time for the Knicks
to be making their lone trip of the season out there. Here are some things to
keep an eye on tonight as the Knicks will face their most difficult matchup of
the season.
