Trailbrazers victory against the Sonics sums it up for 11 straight wins

 

10 points made the difference in the victory of The Blazers to the Sonics, 89-79, in Christmas, a privileged date to play at according to many NBA stars. These two teams have met 5 times on December 25th, but the luck is on Portland’s side as they have won all 5 matches.

"It really doesn't seem like Christmas. I'm used to sitting in the house and watching Kobe play, it's an honor playing on a great day like this, but it would have been better if we had gotten the win." Sonics Kevin Durant said.

Portland currently owns the current longest winning streak in the NBA with 12 in a row on the 2001-2002 season, now they are getting close again with 11 straight victories.

Greg Oden and Kevin Durant were the most recent top draft picks, Oden went to the Blazers and Durant to the Sonics.

So when the NBA schedule came out, everybody was expecting a great rivalry on the court for this game, but unfortunately Oden couldn’t make it as he went under surgery on his right knee and haven’t seeing action in the whole season. Durant is averaging 20 points per game, and leads the league’s rookies.

Jarrett Jack and second year Brandon Roy scored 17 points each and Joel Przybilla had 6 points and a season-high 16 rebounds.

These young players along with forward James Jones who is throwing-in every 3 pointer he’s been given are making a statement to Blazers fans: that with or without Oden, they are still one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference.

Christmas and NBA? The perfect gift for the avid fan.
