Blazers postgame report: Portland’s inconsistent season continues in loss to Orlando Magic

Just two days after posting one of their most impressive wins of the season over the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers, the Portland Trail Blazers followed that up with one of their most frustrating losses of the 2016-17 campaign: Portland spotted the visiting Magic a 17-point lead early, battled back to take a five point lead in the second half but couldn’t hold on, falling to an Orlando team that entered Friday’s game on a four-game losing streak. It was just the latest head-scratching loss for a Blazers team still struggling to find consistency entering the second half of the season.
