Running Down a Dream: Western Conference Quarter Finals

The Trail Blazers were riding high into the playoffs as the #1 overall seed but drew their rivals from north, the Seattle Supersonics. Everyone thought Portland would sweep their way through since they went 4-0 vs. the Sonics in the regular season but each contest was hotly contested. Seattle forced the series to 5 games, nearly becoming the 1st 8th seed ever to upset a #1 seed, before bowing out in the finale 119-107.
