Portland keeps hot streak alive

Everyone has counted them out when their newly won franchise player Greg Oden went down with injury, but right now the Blazers are the hottest team in the league, beating the Nuggets for their 10th straight win. Martell Webster had 19 while Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge both added 18 for the young Blazers team. Roy, last year's rookier of the year, was instrumental in leading the resurgance in the team, scoring a team-high 23.6 points during the winning streak. Carmelo Anthony had 34 points and 12 boards while Allen Iverson also scored 34 for the Nuggets.
