Portland's wings play suspect defense but LaMarcus Aldridge's steady play and some late-game fireworks allow the Blazers to survive a generally flat contest against the Orlando Magic.
In a closely-fought game, the Orlando Magic gave the Portland Trail Blazers all they could handle, but ran out of steam in overtime. The Blazers won another home game and moved to four games over .500.
Momentum and more sits on the line tonight as the Blazers return to the Rose Garden to begin a homestand which could ultimately prove crucial to any playoff designs.
