Trail Blazers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
If the Trail Blazers had any feelings about an easy game Friday
night at Sacramento, the Kings' 105-96 victory at New Orleans
Wednesday wiped them away.
"They're obviously playing well," Portland's Nicolas Batum said.
"It will be a tough game. We know that."
The rookie small forward has made the Blazers' starting lineup
mostly through his defensive prowess. Unless Sacramento's leading
scorer, Kevin Martin, returns after missing six games with a sprained
ankle, Batum's assignment Friday will be probably be John Salmons, who
dropped 28 points (on 13-of-18 shooting) on the Hornets.
"He's obviously a good player at the offensive end," the 6-8 Batum
said.
