(SportsNetwork. Vinny Curry Jersey .com) - The Portland Trail Blazers will close out a five-game road trip Saturday against the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Trail Blazers are 2-2 on the eastern trek and have lost back-to-back games following a five-game winning streak. In Friday nights 115-106 loss to the Chicago Bulls, LaMarcus Aldridge scored 21 of his 35 points in the first quarter and grabbed nine rebounds. Aldridge made 15-of-24 shots and Damian Lillard also scored 35 points to go with six assists and five boards. Lillard had 18 points in the fourth quarter and was 13-of-21 from the field for the Blazers, who shot 48.9 percent and were outrebounded, 47-37. We werent good enough defensively, said Lillard, who made 7-of-11 3- pointers. We started off the game well...but they just got it going. Chicago made 50 percent for the game and scored 30 or more points in both the second (35) and fourth (33) quarters. Portland is 7-4 on the road and will return to the Rose City to face San Antonio and Milwaukee. The Trail Blazers are 13-2 when scoring 100 or more points and had won their first 10 games against Eastern Conference opponents until Fridays loss to the Bulls. Indiana hopes to put an end to its seven-game losing streak Saturday and suffered a 106-94 setback at Toronto Friday night. Solomon Hill scored 16 points and both Rodney Stuckey and C.J. Watson posted 13 for the Pacers. David West tallied 12 points, seven rebounds and five assists in a losing cause. I thought we played better, said West, who is seven points shy of 12,000 in his career. The effort was there. The Pacers will also host Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers on this short homestand and are 4-7 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. They have lost two in a row in front of the home crowd. Pacers guard C.J. Miles left Fridays game with a bruised knee and is questionable for Saturday. Miles is in his first season with the Pacers and is averaging 9.1 points. Portland recently defeated Indiana, 88-82, on Dec. 4 at the Moda Center, where Lillard and Aldridge scored 23 and 18 points, respectively. Stuckey had 16 points in that one for the Pacers, who have beaten the Blazers four straight times in Indy. Aldridge is averaging 23.7 points in the last four games against the Pacers.

The England international raised his middle finger toward Manchester City supporters during Saturdays game at Etihad Stadium, which Arsenal lost 6-3. The incident was not seen by match officials at the time but the FA charged Wilshere retrospectively after a study of video footage.Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Kyle Orton passed for 230 yards and two touchdowns as the Buffalo Bills routed the New York Jets 38-3 Monday night at Detroits Ford Field. The game was moved from Ralph Wilson Stadium after the venue was deemed unplayable due to several feet of snow that fell last week, crippling Buffalo and neighboring areas. We wanted to give the people back in our region a chance to smile a little bit by the way we played, said Bills head coach Doug Marrone. Boobie Dixon rushed for a touchdown and blocked a punt that was recovered in the end zone for another score, helping the Bills (6-5) keep their playoff hopes alive. Michael Vick struggled mightily against the Buffalo defense, completing only 7-of-19 passes for 76 yards. He limped off the field after a third-quarter interception and was replaced by Geno Smith, who saw his first action since he was intercepted three times on eight passes in the first quarter against the Bills on Oct. 26. Smith threw for 89 yards on 10-of-12 passing for the Jets (2-9). Horrible performance. We couldnt do anything. Couldnt block. Couldnt tackle. Couldnt cover. It was just an awful performance, said Jets head coach Rex Ryan, who added that he will address the quarterback situation later. The Bills began their first possession of the game in New York territory after a short punt. Robert Woods finished off the nine-play drive and gave Buffalo an early lead by making a twisting catch in the end zone on 3rd-and-goal. New York got on the board when Nick Folk kicked a 27-yard field goal with 1:01 remaining in the first quarter. The Jets nearly came away with no points as cornerback Corey Graham ddropped a would-be interception in the end zone on the previous play. Ryan Jensen Jersey. The Bills took a gamble on 4th-and-1 from the New York 45 in the second quarter and Dixon was stopped for no gain, giving the Jets favorable field position. On the ensuing drive, the Jets picked up 10 and 11 yards on their first two plays and were at the Buffalo 31 after an 8-yard reception by Eric Decker. However, a sack by Mario Williams, a false start penalty and a Vick incompletion resulted in a punt for New York. Buffalo then orchestrated a 13-play, 90-yard drive and went up 14-3 on Scott Chandlers 19-yard touchdown catch. The highlight of the drive was Woods one-handed grab against his helmet while being interfered with by a Jets defensive back. The Bills turned the game into a rout by scoring 17 points in a span of 4:42 during the third quarter. Dan Carpenter drilled a 53-yard field goal to cap the opening possession of the second half. Dixon then blocked Ryan Quigleys punt and Manny Lawson made the recovery in the end zone. Duke Williams intercepted Vick on the next New York drive, leading to Fred Jacksons 5-yard touchdown run. Dixon scored on a 30-yard run to cap the scoring with 5:53 remaining in the fourth quarter. Game Notes Woods set career highs with nine receptions and 118 receiving yards ... The last time the Bills scored on a blocked punt was Dec. 19, 2004, against Cincinnati ... Orton completed 24-of-32 passes ...
