The Portland Trail Blazers have now won 9 of their last 10 games, including Monday’s thrilling overtime against the Phoenix Suns. Their streak has now extended to six games with last night’s win against the Sacramento Kings.

He joins us to talk about what’s behind the dramatic turnaround, from the team’s chemistry to adjustments Coach Chauncey Billups has made that have sparked dominant performances on the court.
