PORTLAND, Ore. -- Sure, the Washington Bullets were a hurting team when they limped into Memorial Coliseum for their NBA game with the Portland Trail Blazers last night.Their injury list isn't any shorter than it was when they left Los Angeles, and, given the travel time, they were understandably tired.But that probably won't stop them from kicking themselves for letting the Blazers get away from them. The Bullets, 6-10, fought and scratched for most of the 48 minutes, but a late spurt from the free-throw line gave Portland the 91-87 victory.
