On the night inside the Rose Garden when the Portland Trail Blazers dropped their 10th straight game, Damian Lillard repeated one desire during his post-game interviews.
“Get a win,” Lillard said, dryly. “Gotta get a win.”
Through this losing streak — that now has stretched to 11 straight after the Blazers’ 118-109 loss on Sunday to the Denver Nuggets — many of the players have repeated this simple chorus.
