Nicolas Batum added 15 points and a career-high nine boards off the bench for the Trail Blazers, who have won two in a row following a three-game skid. Jerryd Bayless also scored 15 in the victory.
Andre Miller, coming off a career-high 52 points in a 114-112 overtime win at Dallas on Saturday, finished with just eight points and 10 assists on 4-of-6 shooting.
Stephen Jackson had 23 points for Charlotte, which failed in its bid for a franchise-record fourth straight road win. Gerald Wallace scored 17 to go with 10 rebounds, while Flip Murray ended with 13 points.
Charlotte was down 72-65 moving to the fourth quarter, and the Bobcats went ice cold from the field over the final 12 minutes, going 4-of-13 from the field. Portland turned seven Charlotte turnovers into eight points in the period.
Murray was fouled on a three-point try in the opening seconds of the fourth and promptly sank all the shots, but the Blazers went on an ensuing 10-2 spurt, widening the lead to 82-70 following a Rudy Fernandez pull-up three- pointer.
Portland remained ahead by double digits the remainder of the game.
The Blazers gained a 29-19 lead after the first quarter and they remained in control throughout the second, leading 51-43 at the half. Murray's three- pointer capped the third period.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
