The Portland Trail Blazers found a cure to what ails them on the road _ a trip to Minnesota. After their 13-game winning streak was snapped at Utah, Brandon Roy scored 24 points to help the young Blazers rebound with a 90-79 victory over the woeful Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
Portland restored its dominance in Rip City in December, going 10-0 at the Rose Garden to improve to 15-3 at home this season.
But coach Nate McMillan said he was curious to see how his group would handle going on the road. The Blazers entered the night just 3-10 away from home, including a 111-101 loss to the Jazz that broke the league's longest winning streak of the season.
A game in frigid Minneapolis is a nice way to ease into a month in which nine of their first 11 games are on the road.
Al Jefferson had 29 points and 16 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who are a league-worst 4-27 and off to the worst start in a franchise history that has known plenty of losing.
