It\u2019d be easy to dismiss a game against a team that\u2019s won just 25 of 76 games as trivial. Reality check: if the Blazers don\u2019t win this one, their hard-fought, rallying cry victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday won\u2019t matter anymore. It\u2019s win or give up on the 8th seed in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. Winning seems like a decent idea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You can talk about the action right here as it unfolds!
