The Portland Trail Blazers' next task is formidable: slow down the Houston Rockets and James Harden. The Rockets come to Portland for a Saturday night meeting with the Trail Blazers having won six in a row and 11 of their last 12 outings, including a 135-134 overtime thriller at Golden State on Wednesday in which Houston rallied from a 20-point deficit in the third quarter. "They're the hottest team in the league, and James is playing at an all-time historic level," Portland guard Damian Lillard said.
