If you blinked, you might've missed it but the Phoenix Suns and the Portland Trail Blazers have run full speed into halftime...

Portland has been led by Travis Outlaw's effort off the bench and the steady play of Jarrett Jack. Jack has been the one constant in the ever-changing Trail Blazer lineup and has rewarded Portland fans with 11 points and 4 assists. Zach Randolph has 8 points and 5 rebounds, but his touches have been limited by consistent triple-teams from the Suns defense.

On the other end, Phoenix has been inspired by the play of Amare Stoudemire, who heads into half with 16 points. Raja Bell has also played well, turning in 14 points, including 4 of 6 from three-point land.

It's going to take a team effort for Portland to rally back from a 59 - 47 halftime deficit, but stranger things have happened, especially with this Portland sqaud. The Rose Garden might be the stage for yet another dramatic Portland comeback...
