The Trail Blazers bent but didn't break Wednesday night, trailing for three quarters but coming back in the fourth behind the clutch shooting of Brandon Roy and Steve Blake to edge the Pacers 107-105 at home.
The victory extended Portland's winning streak at the Rose Garden to 10, and it snapped Indiana's nine-game winning streak over the Blazers, dating back to 2003. Roy scored 28 points after a quiet first half, including the winning free throws with 1.7 seconds left. Steve Blake tallied nine, including two clutch threes in the fourth quarter, and spurred the Blazers' comeback. Travis Outlaw scored 21 points, including a key basket in the final minutes, and LaMarcus Aldridge added 21 points.

In an overwhelming show of community support, fans attending and watching tonight’s Portland Trail Blazers game against the Indiana Pacers raised $21,346.58 to assist the family of Portland-area teen Nathan Vredevelt.
Vredevelt, 16, was injured as he attempted to cross I-5 near the Rose Quarter Sunday evening and remains hospitalized in critical condition. The family is without medical insurance. The Trail Blazers pledged on Tuesday to match donations made by fans at tonight’s game, up to $10,000. Southlake Church, a church attended by the Vredevelt family, today responded in kind. The matching $10,000 donations will result in a total donation of more than $41,000 to help the Vredevelt family with medical bills. continue reading >>> Online Donation Form
