PORTLAND, Oregon (Ticker) -- Brandon Roy scored 29 points andTravis Outlaw added 21 as the Portland Trail Blazers postedtheir sixth straight win, a 99-91 victory over the strugglingUtah Jazz on Friday night.


Reserve James Jones had 14 points for the Trail Blazers, whoplayed their third straight game without their leading scorerand rebounder, second-year forward LaMarcus Aldridge (plantarfasciitis).


It was the second meeting in four days between the two teams,with Portland getting the better of Utah, 97-89, on Tuesday.With Friday's loss, the Jazz now have lost six in a row.

It was an uphill climb in this one for the Blazers, who openedthe fourth with seven straight points to complete an impressivecomeback en route to the victory.


A 16-6 run to start the third gave the Jazz a 70-59 lead, butthe resilient Blazers fought back - scoring eight straightpoints to cut their deficit to four points going into the finalperiod.


Jones nailed a 17-foot jumper to put Portland ahead, 75-74, andOutlaw followed with another jumper - prompting timeout by theJazz early in the fourth.


But Andrei Kirilenko's 15-foot jumper helped Utah recapture thelead, 78-77, with 6:30 remaining.


The teams then traded baskets for most of the rest final perioduntil the Blazers took the lead for good, 87-86, on Outlaw'stwo free throws with 2:33 left. Portland won the free-throwbattle the rest of the way.


Despite shooting 10-of-17 in the first period, Portland led just28-26 after one.


In the second, the Blazers inched their way to a 45-37 leadthanks in part to Outlaw and poor shooting by the Jazz. Outlawscored eight points while the visitors made only 4-of-15 fieldgoals during that span.


<div class="pre">The Jazz responded by converting three straight times</div>offensively, sparking a 17-6 run. C.J. Miles' layup capped itwith 36 seconds remaining before Joel Przybilla ended the halfwith a putback dunk, bringing Portland to within one at 54-53.

Carlos Boozer had 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Jazz, whowere without forward Mehmet Okur for the second straight game(back).
