The sullen faces that were so common after losses earlier this season have given way to chest-bumps and high fives as the Portland Trail Blazers ride a sustained — and somewhat surprising — winning streak.

The young team that went into the season looking at another rebuilding year is now 23-29, exceeding its win total of 21 from last season. While still sitting at 13th in the Western Conference, they are edging closer to those play-in spots with 30 games remaining.
