The sullen faces that were so common after losses earlier this season have given way to chest-bumps and high fives as the Portland Trail Blazers ride a sustained — and somewhat surprising — winning streak.

The Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns played a much different game Monday night than Saturday night’s blowout win by the Blazers at the Moda Center. This game came down to the final seconds in overtime, with the victor remaining the same. The Blazers held on to win 121-119 to capture their eighth victory in their last nine games.

Deandre Ayton had 25 points and 20 rebounds, and the Portland Trail Blazers edged the Phoenix Suns 121-119 in overtime for their fourth consecutive victory.
