ROY JUST TOOK A CHARGE! BLAZERS BALL!

Do not pass go! Do not collect $200! And do not try and out-play Brandon Roy during crunch time!

Now, the Trail Blazers can seal it with free-throws... BUT JACK IS LOCKED UP BY RON ARTEST!

It's a jump ball... And the Trail Blazers come away with it! It was tipped, tossed, and turned over before Travis Outlaw finally emerged with the loose ball. He'll shoot two free-throws with just .4 seconds to play, and dare I say it, for a chance to put this game in the refrigerator.

Outlaw connects! The only ones that count are the one's during crunch time!

.4 seconds and a three-point lead! One more stop!

AND THERE IT IS! PORTLAND WINS! PORTLAND WINS! PORTLAND WINS!

Aldridge finished with a game-high 28 points and 12 rebounds, and Steve Blake turned in what has to be the most clutch performance of his NBA career.

Blake hit 2 three's during the fourth quarter and picked Brad Miller for a huge turnover.

Roy finished with 13 points and 8 assists, none of which were bigger than the lay-up which gave the Trail Blazers a one-point lead late in the fourth quarter.

Who else? Travis Outlaw altered numerous shots and hit two big free-throws down the stretch, but his biggest play probably won't even end up on the stat sheet. After Ron Artest tipped the late jump ball, Outlaw emerged with the loose ball and locked up the Trail Blazer W.

For the Kings, Kevin Martin had a steady night, finishing with 21 but Portland held him to 4 points less than his season average.

It's a big win and the Trail Blazers 5th victory in a row when I run the "Game-Time" Blog. Some call it "luck," I call it destiny...

Man, oh man. What a night! Until next time, good luck and good night!
