Portland Trail Blazers’ hot streak delights fans, raises expectations for team’s outlook

The Portland Trail Blazers have now won 9 of their last 10 games, including Monday’s thrilling overtime against the Phoenix Suns. Their streak has now extended to six games with last night’s win against the Sacramento Kings. It’s a dramatic turnaround to a season that began with a slew of losses, and while the Blazers still have more losses than wins, expectations are rising about how they’ll end the season in late April. Sean Highkin is the founder of the Substack newsletter, The Rose Garden Report. He joins us to talk about what’s behind the dramatic turnaround, from the team’s chemistry to adjustments Coach Chauncey Billups has made that have sparked dominant performances on the court.
