The last time these two teams met, they faced off in the Valley of the Sun where the Suns won convincingly, 114-87, due to a dominant bench performance. Led by Jermaine O'Neal and PJ Tucker (28 points, 12-16) shooting, the Phoenix reserves outscored their Portland counterparts, 43-13. That's right, eight Trail Blazers played off the bench and only recorded 13 points. Thankfully, that game was back on November 21st and the second-unit for Portland has started to blossom. For the Trail Blazers to make amends for the poor showing in the desert, they must win the battle of the benches.

So Rip City, what are your keys to victory?Continue>>>
