PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS at VANCOUVER GRIZZLIES        APRIL 14, 1996

Red hot and rolling --- The Portland Trail Blazers (41-36), winners of
two in a row, nine of their last 10 and 15 of their last 17, will be looking 
for victory No. 42 Sunday when they tangle with the Grizzlies in Vancouver.
A win would assure the Blazers of their 17th winning season in the last
two decades and would help strengthen their grip on the No. 6 seed in
the upcoming Western Conference Playoffs. Portland now has a two-
game lead on Phoenix, a team it defeated in the Valley of the Sun on
Tuesday, for the sixth position. With five games remaining, a win Sunday
also would assure the Blazers of no worse than seventh in the playoff
bracket. Portland will also be looking for its second win in a row over
Vancouver that would give them a season-split and take some of the
sting out of two early season losses to the Grizzlies.  The Blazers closed
out a tough five-games-in-seven-nights schedule Thursday with a 114-85
win over Dallas, finishing the stretch by winning four out of five. That put 

Portland five games over the .500 mark for the first time this season. A
little over a month ago, after losing 10 of 12 games the Blazers had
dropped eight games below the break-even mark. Since that time,
they've been the hottest team in the league, going 15-2, including winning
four out of six on the road.

Sunday's probable starters --- (F) 3 CLIFFORD ROBINSON, 6-10, 20.9
ppg, 5.8 rpg;  (F) 44 HARVEY GRANT, 6-9, 9.3 ppg, 4.6 rpg (C) 11 ARVYDAS
SABONIS, 7-3, 14.5 ppg, 8.0 rpg; (G) 23 AARON MCKIE, 6-5, 10.7 ppg, 3.8
rpg; (G) 1 ROD STRICKLAND, 6-3, 18.8 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 9.5 apg.

The hottest team in the league --- Since Portland started its current run
of successes on March 8, it is the league's hottest team, even ahead of
division leaders Seattle, Chicago and San Antonio. After Thursday's win
over Dallas, the Blazers are 15-2 since March 8, (88.2%).  In the same
span San Antonio is 16-3 (84.2%), Seattle 15-3 (83.3%) and Chicago 13-
3 (81.2%).  The other three teams have a collective win-loss mark for the
season of 184-46.

The Blazers & Grizzlies  --- Portland heads into Vancouver Sunday
looking to earn a split in their first season series with the Grizzlies. 
The Grizzlies are the only expansion franchise to come into the league in the
last decade to have a winning record over Portland. Before defeating the
Grizzlies in the Rose Garden two weeks ago, 101-85, the Blazers had
dropped two straight to the Canadian club, including a disheartening 92-
80 setback that spoiled the inauguration of Portland's brand new Rose
Garden. The Grizzlies made it two in a row with a 104-100 overtime
victory in General Motors Centre in December. In the two losses,
Portland struggled from both the field and the free throw line, shooting a
collective .402 in field goals and .551 from the charity stripe. Vancouver
answered by converting at a .427 field goal and .697 free throw rate. In
the last outing, Portland wasted little time in establishing command,
jumping out to a 22-8 lead in the game's first eight minutes. The Blazers
shot 51 percent in that game while holding the Grizzlies to 35 percent and
dominated the boards, 53-33. Clifford Robinson, with a 23.7 points per
game average, and Rod Strickland, 22.0 ppg, are Portland's two leading
scorers versus the Griz this season. Chris Dudley has averaged 11.0
rebounds a contest to lead the Blazers effort that has tamed Vancouver
on the boards, 51.0-40.0 in the three outings.

Fourth longest run in sports --- Portland is headed for its 14th
consecutive Western Conference Playoff appearance, the longest such
current streak in the NBA and the fourth longest in all of professional
sports. Only the Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues
of the National Hockey League have made more current playoff
appearance than the Blazers. The Utah Jazz, making the playoffs for the
13th consecutive year this spring, is the closest any NBA club can come.
The Boston Bruins current run of 29 in a row is an all-time professional
sports record. The Syracuse Nationals-Philadelphia 76ers' 22 in a row
from 1950 to 1971 is the most ever in the NBA.

Race to the playoffs --- The Trail Blazers are currently in the sixth
playoff slot, two games ahead of Phoenix and  5 1/2 games ahead of
Sacramento in the No. 8 position. The Blazers now are looking at a
magic number of '1' (either a Portland win or a Sacramento loss) to be
assured of no lower than the seventh seed in the eight-team conference
playoffs starting April 25.

Sweeping the Mavericks  --- Portland swept the Dallas Mavericks for
the fourth time in seven years while posting its 10th straight homecourt
win, 114-99, on Thursday. It was the Blazers 15th win in their last 17
games.  Arvydas Sabonis with 21 points and 15 rebounds in 23 minutes
(his sixth consecutive double-double), led six teammates in double-figure
scoring as all 12 Blazers put points on the board for the fourth time this
season. Portland fired at a 51 percent clip from the field (45-89) while
holding the Mavs to 37 percent (37-101). Dallas tied an all-time Blazers
opponent record by attempting 40 three-pointers (making 10). The
Blazers had a 59-45 rebounding advantage, including 46-29 on the
defensive boards.  Portland outscored Dallas in the paint, 62-36, had a
28-20 advantage in fast break points while the Blazers bench outscored
the Mavs reserves, 55-27.

10 straight in the Garden --- The Blazers extended their winning string
in the Rose Garden to 10 in a row Thursday, their longest run of
successes in two years. It is just one victory shy of their best since
opening the 1993-94 season by winning 11 in a row at home. Before that,
Portland had streaks of 13 straight during both the 1990-91 and 1991-92
seasons. The Blazers' all-time longest one-season home winning streak
was 26 in a row in 1977-78.  Over two seasons, beginning with the last
eight games of 1976-77 and continuing through the three months of the
next season, Portland won 34 straight in Memorial Coliseum, the fifth
longest consecutive home streak in NBA history.

Sabonis NBA Player of the Week --- Arvydas Sabonis, Portland's 7-
foot-3 rookie center from Lithuania, was named NBA Player of The Week
for the period ending March 31 for his role in the team's 4-0 run. Sabonis,
European Player of the Year in 1995, averaged 20.3 points, 9.5
rebounds, 2.3 blocked shots and 2.0 assists while playing an average of
27.8 minutes. One of the league's top field goal shooters, he converted
35 of 54 field goal attempts during the week for a .648 percentage, and
was 4 of 7 from three-point range. He is the second Trail Blazer to earn
NBA Player of the Week honors this season and the first Blazers rookie
to gain overall NBA recognition since 1981.  Clifford Robinson was
honored earlier this year for his play in the week ending Jan. 7.

More Sabonis --- He is the highest scoring Blazers rookie in 15 years
(998 points in 69 games through Thursday) and, with two more points,
will become only the eighth Portland first-year player to score 1,000 or
more points in a season. More importantly, he has been a big factor in
Portland's recent run of successes. In his last 16 games he has averaged
18.2 points and 11.0 rebounds, blocked 28 shots, led the team in scoring
eight times and in rebounding nine times, recorded 10 double-doubles,
shot 52 percent from the field (100-184), and averaged 26.1 minutes in
16 starts.

Defense doing it ---The Blazers have limited 11 of their last 17
opponents to under 43 percent field goal shooting and have held seven of
them under 40 percent. Collectively, the 17 foes have managed to make
just .409 of their shots . . .  In the same 17-game span, the Portland
offense has clicked at a .466 field goal rate, including seven games when
they converted 50 percent or more of their shots . . . Portland has
outscored its last 16 opponents by an average of 10.3 points a game,
held 13 of them under 100 points and seven under 90.

More defense --- Thus far in the season, the Blazers have clamped
down on opponent field goal shooting at a team-record pace.  Through
77 games, Portland opponents have converted just .444 of their shots
from the field, which is below the club's all-time defensive low for a
season, .449 by the 1977-78 team . . . The .444 field goal mark by
opponents is the sixth lowest in the NBA going into Sunday's game  . . .
Portland opponents have been held to a 97.4 points per game average,
nearly two points a contest under the all-time opponent low of 99.2 last
year. Portland's defense is now the 10th toughest in the league for points
allowed.

Trail Blazing --- Twenty of the Blazers' 36 setbacks have been by five
points or less and 11 have been by three or under . . . Conversely, 31 of
the Blazers 41 wins have been by 6 points or more, 20 have been by 10
points or higher, and five have been by more than 20 . . . The Blazers are
6-11 in games decided by three points or less and 10-20 when the
margin is five points or under but 20-11 when the difference is 10 points
or more . . . Portland is 37-9 when leading going into the fourth quarter
and 4-27 when tied or behind . . . It is 31-11 when holding the lead at
halftime and 8-24 when trailing . . . The Blazers are 26-16 when leading
after one quarter and 14-20 when behind or tied . . . They are 27-9 when
scoring more than 100 points and 28-12 when limiting opponents to
under 100 points . . . Portland is 14-21 against teams with better than
.500 records and 27-15 with teams at .500 or under . . . Portland is 18-4
when shooting 50 percent or better from the field and 25-7 when keeping
opponents at 43 percent or under . . . In winning 41 games, the Blazers
victory margin averages 11.1 points; in its 36 losses, the margin is 7.9
points a game . . . Portland is 16-10 against teams from the Midwest
Division, 9-4 against them at home and is 26-21 overall in Western
Conference action.

Pounding the boards --- Portland, one of the league's premier
rebounding teams over the last eight seasons (never finishing lower than
fifth), is at it again. The Blazers have outrebounded 18 of their last 22
opponents, have averaged 49.0 retrieves in their last 14 games, have
grabbed 50 or more misses six times in their 14 games and 22 times total
this season . . . The Blazers lead the NBA in defensive rebounding
percentage (.731), are third in total rebounding percentage (.532), and
sixth in offensive rebounding (.333). For the season, Portland is
outrebounding its opponents by 5.5 a game for the season and has a 9.9
per game average over the last 17 games . . . The Blazers make
rebounding is a team effort; they are among the elite in the league in that
category even though their leading rebounders, Chris Dudley and
Arvydas Sabonis, rank just 22nd and 29th among league's leaders with
8.9 and 8.0 per game averages respectively.

Among the leaders --- CLIFFORD ROBINSON'S 20.9 points per game
average places him 14th among NBA scoring leaders and his 38.0
minutes per game is No. 18 in the league . . . ROD STRICKLAND is
averaging 9.5 assists a game, third highest among NBA leaders, his 18.8
ppg scoring average ranks him 30th in the league, he's 23rd in steals with
a 1.45 average, and his 37.8 minutes per game average is 20th highest .
. . ARVYDAS SABONIS is seventh among the NBA's top field goal shooters
with a .546 mark (371-680) in 69 games, ranks 29th in rebounding (8.0
per game), and 34th in blocked shots (1.04 a game) . . . CHRIS DUDLEY is
22nd in the NBA in rebounding with a 8.9 average and 27th in blocked
shots (1.24 per game).

22 in a row --- The 101-85 win over Vancouver on April 2 assured the
Blazers of their 22nd consecutive season  with at least 37 wins. The
closest any team in the league can come to that mark is at least 31 wins
over the same 22 seasons by Seattle. The string of 37-plus win seasons
goes back to 1974-75. The only years Portland did not reached that
number were in the franchise's first four seasons.

Mixing and matching --- P.J. Carlesimo has employed 17 different
starting lineups this season, using  just 11 players to make up those
combinations. No Blazer has started every game this season and only
Elmore Spencer on the current roster has yet to get at least one starting
call. In winning 15 of the last 17 games, Carlesimo has called out seven
different starting units involving nine of his 12 players.

Blazers to honor Glickman --- Special ceremonies prior to Monday's
game with San Antonio will pay tribute to Trail Blazer President Emeritus
Harry Glickman. It was Glickman who secured a National Basketball
Association franchise for Portland in 1970 and then served as the club's
first executive vice president and later president. Glickman, enshrined in
the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame, was named Portland's First Citizen for
civic leadership in 1992. A Portland native, he also was responsible for
bringing professional hockey back to Portland in 1960, organizing the
highly successful Portland Buckaroo franchise of the old Western Hockey
League.

P.J. --- P.J. Carlesimo is in his second season as head coach of the
Portland Trail Blazers.  Last year, Carlesimo guided Portland to a 44-38
record, the first coach in 25 years to have moved directly from college to
a head coaching job in the pros and post a winning record in his first
season.  The last coach to make the successful jump in one season was
Cotton Fitzsimmons, who went from Kansas State to Phoenix to guide
the Suns to a 48-34 in 1970-71.  Going into the Dallas game, P.J. has a
two-season mark of 85-74 in Portland.

Grizzlies next  --- After Vancouver, the Blazers have four regular season
games remaining. They return home to face the San Antonio Spurs on
Monday (7 p.m., KEX Radio, BlazerVision), face the Sonics in Seattle on
Wednesday (7 p.m., KEX Radio, KGW-TV), play next Friday at Golden
State (7 p.m., KEX Radio) then host the Los Angeles Lakers in the finale
next Sunday, in the Rose Garden (6 p.m., KEX Radio, BlazerVision).
