Trail Blazers 102, Knicks 91: Nicolas Batum recorded 23 points, seven rebounds and six assists as host Portland cruised past slumping New York to earn its 11th straight win.

Damian Lillard added 23 points and six assists and LaMarcus Aldridge collected 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Trail Blazers, who are enjoying their longest winning streak since a 13-game run in December 2007. Wesley Matthews knocked down a trio of 3-pointers en route to 17 points for Portland.

Carmelo Anthony did his part with 34 points and 15 rebounds but the Knicks still suffered their sixth straight loss. Andrea Bargnani added 16 points and Beno Udrih scored 13 on 5-of-7 shooting.

New York had it knotted at 12 early in the first quarter before the Trail Blazers took control with a 22-6 run to end the period, highlighted by a pair of 3-pointers from Batum and a driving dunk by Lillard in which he cut through the lane untouched as several New York defenders failed to step in front. Portland led by as much as 22 points in the second before settling for a 56-39 lead at the break.

The Knicks chipped it down to a 12-point deficit through three quarters and were within 81-74 after Bargnani’s 3-pointer with just over 10 minutes to play. The Blazers responded with a 9-0 burst and held off another charge when Lillard knocked down a pair of jumpers in the final 1:31.
