(SportsNetwork. Ola Aina Jersey .com) - The Milwaukee Bucks will put their two-game winning streak on the line Saturday night when they play host to the Portland Trail Blazers at the Bradley Center. The Bucks, who have won three of their last four, finished off a Florida sweep with wins over the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. On Thursday, Milwaukee earned its first victory in Orlando in 10 years with a 115-100 win. Brandon Knight tallied 16 points, nine assists, five rebounds and four steals to pace the Bucks to their first win in Orlando since Dec. 29, 2004, a stretch that included 17 straight losses. It was a great game, said Bucks coach Jason Kidd. From start to finish, our guys executed the game plan. They shared the ball. Jerryd Bayless led seven Bucks in double figures with 19 points. Khris Middleton and Jared Dudley added 17 apiece and John Henson posted 12 points and 11 rebounds in the win. O.J. Mayo scored 13 off the bench and Giannis Antetokounmpo managed 10 points. The Blazers are struggling. Theyve dropped two straight and seven of their last nine, plus, the Blazers have lost five in a row as the visitor, including both stops on this current road trip. After the first visit on the trek was canceled in Brooklyn due to impending snow, Portland lost to a LeBron James-less Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, then to the steaming-hot Atlanta Hawks on Friday. In between setbacks, Blazers guard Damian Lillard was passed over for a spot on the Western Conference All-Star team and was not happy about, stating in an Instagram post he felt disrespected. The Blazers were valiant against the Hawks, but eventually fell, 105-99. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 37 points for Portland a day after he was named to the Western Conference All-Star team. An incredible individual performance, said Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer. We tried to make it difficult on him but he still scored 37. Wesley Matthews added 16 points and Lillard scored 13 with 11 assists for the Blazers. Neither team led by more than six in the game. The Hawks took the lead for good on Al Horfords jumper midway through the fourth quarter. Later, Horfords rebound and Jeff Teagues long pass over the defense led to a dunk for Paul Millsap at the other end to make it a six-point game with 1:30 remaining. The Blazers were never closer than four after that. It was a very competitive game, said Portland coach Terry Stotts. Both teams made runs but they made more plays at the end of the game than we did. The Blazers defeated the Bucks by seven in Portland on Dec. 17 and have won three straight in this series. The teams have split the last 12 meetings in Milwaukee. Ruben Loftus-Cheek Jersey .

At quarterback, all agree that Andy Dalton has been a wonderful surprise, but to truly progress he has to play his best in the playoffs. The two losses in the wildcard rounds keep the evaluation on Dalton open -- just like it did for Peyton Manning many years ago and Matt Ryan until last year.(SportsNetwork.com) - Two of the NBAs very best take center stage Monday night when the defending champion San Antonio Spurs head to the Moda Center to take on the Portland Trail Blazers. The Spurs dispatched the Blazers in five games during last seasons Western Conference semifinals en route to a fifth NBA championship. The two are separated by a game in the standings. San Antonio started its quick road trip with a 99-91 victory over the Denver Nuggets Sunday night at the Pepsi Center. Kawhi Leonard returned to lead a balanced San Antonio offense with 18 points. Leonard was back after missing two games with a bruised right hand and set career highs with six blocks and five steals to go along with four assists in a good all-around effort. Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili each added 15 points as six Spurs scored at least 10 in the win. Luckily we run an offense where a lot of people can touch the ball, said Duncan. We dont need one guy to set everything up for us. The reigning NBA champs bounced back from Fridays overtime loss to the lowly Lakers to avoid what would have been their second 1-3 four-game stretch this season. They played without guard Tony Parker, who sat with a hamstring strain. His availability for Monday is unknown. The Spurs return to Allamo City Wednesday for a tough test against the Memphis Grizzlies. Pedro Jersey. On Friday, the Trail Blazers visit the Spurs. Portland stopped a two-game skid on Saturday night with a 95-85 road victory over the Indiana Pacers. The Blazers won the first two on the eastern swing, then dropped the next two on the trip to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Chicago Bulls. On Saturday, LaMarcus Aldridge scored 19 points with 14 rebounds to help the Blazers secure the victory. Damian Lillard managed to contribute 18 points on 7-of-22 shooting, while Nicolas Batum and Wesley Matthews netted 14 and 12 points, respectively, in the win. I think our minds our on the defensive end, said Matthews. The offense seemed to be flowing a little bit, but mainly because of what we were doing on the defensive end. The Blazers held the Pacers to 38.6 percent shooting from the floor, and 26.7 percent from long range. The Spurs did prevail in five games in the second round last season, but the Blazers only victory did come in Portland in Game 4. During the regular season, the Blazers have won four of the last six meetings with San Antonio, but the Spurs two wins came in the last two encounters. Portland is 9-2 in its last 11 regular-season tilts versus the Spurs.
