Blazers top OKLA 92-87

Andre Miller was the man down the stretch. The Thunder creeped back in at the end but it seemed we had this all along. But the ending could have been much different had KDurant not gone cold in the 4th and missed his 3 point would be tying shot. As Durant went, so did it seem the Thunder followed suit. But that's what leaders do. Andre took that role down the stretch. Some key steals and defense and drives to the hole that kept us ahead. Aldridge had some key shots. All n all, this game was a must, a two for one. Nice job on the mini road trip and winning both games. One win dropped the Hornets out of the race. The other put us in a virtual tie for 6th in the Western Conference, a leap up from 8th @ the start of the game. Blazers might have finally figured a rotation w/all the injuries that works, and seems to be jelling right around playoff time. We may not be bounced in the 1st round now seems to be the newer opinion of this team. Keep it up Blazers!
