章 326: Chapter 62 Killing the Lion

On the evening of the 7th, the Portland Trail Blazers hosted the Washington Bullets at home.

The season was already more than half over, with just a month left until the playoffs.

Both teams had the motivation to win, with the Trail Blazers currently first in the Western Conference and the Lakers closely trailing.

Although the Trail Blazers had the advantage over the Lakers on the road, they still wanted to take first place to secure all the home court advantages.

The Washington Bullets were currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with one fewer win than the sixth-ranked New Jersey Nets, with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls closely on their heels.

In order to secure their playoff spot, the Bullets would also give their all, particularly since they had already beaten the Trail Blazers at home earlier in the year, giving the team a lot of confidence.
