Heading into the fourth quarter, it's really time for the Trail Blazers to get it going. They've out-worked the Kings, they've out-hustled the Kings, and they've out-played the Kings for 36 minutes...

Now, it's time to out-score the Kings.

Joel Przybilla has picked up his 5th foul on a questionable blocking call, so it'll be interesting to see how long he plays in the fourth quarter. Portland needs his presence around the basket, but Coach McMillan can't afford to see his big man foul out.

Aldridge has been nothing short of amazing tonight, turning in an 11 of 14 performance for 25 points and 10 rebounds with 12 minutes left in the game...

But you get the feeling that the Trail Blazers need Brandon Roy to step up and carry this one home. Roy has been frustrated by Ron Artest, but he's also gotten his looks near the basket. He's 4 of 12 for 9 points, so far.

Francisco Garcia now leads the Kings with 16 points and Kevin Martin also has 14. Ron Artest has done just about everything short of selling tickets for the Kings.

He has 13 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists.
