Blazers win over the Golden State Warriors

09:58 PM PST on Wednesday, December 12, 2007

Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. - Travis Outlaw had 22 points and eight rebounds, and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Golden State Warriors 105-95 Wednesday night for their fifth straight victory.

Outlaw's dunk with 3:20 left gave the Blazers a 100-89 lead, and James Jones followed up with a 3-pointer to put it away.

The Blazers, who built a 14-point lead early but briefly lost their advantage in the third quarter, had not won five straight since a run last December.

Brandon Roy had 21 points and seven assists, while Joel Przybilla had 15 points and 10 rebounds for Portland. Jones added 21 points.

Golden State, coming off a victory at home over San Antonio on Tuesday night, won 12 of its previous 15 games. Baron Davis led the Warriors with 23 points and 11 assists.

The Blazers were without LaMarcus Aldridge, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, for the second straight game. Aldridge is day-to-day with plantar fasciitis, a painful foot condition.

Additionally, the Blazers lost forward Martell Webster during the game because of the flu.

Starting guard Monta Ellis did not play for Golden State because of a strained left thigh.

Both teams were playing the second of back-to-back games. The Warriors beat the Spurs 96-84 at home on Tuesday night, while the Blazers won 97-89 at Utah.

Tied at 22 after the first quarter, the Blazers went on a 20-6 run capped by Jones' 3-pointer and a pair of free throws, to go up 42-28.

Golden State came back to close within 51-46 on Austin Croshere's 3-pointer, and trailed by 54-49 at the half.

The Warriors continued their comeback after the break and narrowed it to 61-60 on Stephen Jackson's steal and dunk. Davis gave Golden State the lead with a 16-foot jumper.

The Blazers regrouped and pulled ahead with a 12-2 run, going up 79-69 after Jones' jumper.
