The Portland Trail Blazers have won nine out of their past 10 games. Portland’s incredible run includes an ongoing five-game winning streak, the longest active streak in the NBA. While some people want a Blazers trade, Scoot Henderson’s<\/a> potential shines through as a promising star.<\/p>\n

The Blazers Are Good Now: Diving Into Portland’s Incredible Run<\/h2>\n

Over the past 10 games, the Trail Blazers have been the most impressive team in the league. That is not hyperbolic because their only loss was to the OKC Thunder during that 10-game stretch. Portland’s incredible run has been fun, considering they have the longest active winning streak with five wins.<\/p>\n

Before this impressive run, most people would only talk about Portland for a Blazers trade. From January 11 to 18, the Blazers lost four straight games by 15+ points, but they responded with this run. Henderson’s potential has been the biggest bright spot, considering many saw him as a draft bust.<\/p>\n
