The Portland Trailbrazers found themselves in a whole when they came back home down 0-2 in a best of 7 game series against Dallas. Portland was in desperate need of a spark from a player on the team to help them win both home games. The spark came surprisingly from Brandon Roy. He was a 2006-07 rookie of the year and a 3 time all-star. But Roy unfortunately had double knee surgery this year and has no cartilage in his knees. The past two seasons Roy hasn't been playing much because of injury. This year after surgery he was reinserted into the line up but coming off the bench with limited minutes. Roy complained about not playing more minutes during the series after game 2 and during game 3 when he got more minutes he showed why he deserved more minutes. He scored 16 points in game 3 to help them win 97-92. In game 4 Portland was in a deep hole down 18 points in the 4th quarter. Roy put the team on his back with 24 points off the bench and scoring or assisting the last 16 points. That game was very interesting and the rest of the series should be.
