"The Portland Trail Blazers lost their fourth consecutive road game, again blowing a second-half lead and failing to find offense late in Sacramento on Thursday night.

One night after blowing out the Charlotte Bobcats at home, the Blazers started off hot behind LaMarcus Aldridge but then faded in the second half.

Marcus Thornton scored 20 points and John Salmons had a season-high 19 for the Sacramento Kings, who snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Blazers 95-92 on Thursday night."
