Unfortunately, the real story of the night was that we lost again, and this time it was to one of the worst teams in the league while we were at home.

Yeah, Blazers have longest losing streak in entire league right now, at 6 games

Now Batum's 2nd triple double means something. Good win versus the Clippers. Now we just need to do it again tonight in Staples, and I will be there so I'm really excited for this one.
