LaMarcus Aldridge has praised the Portland Trail Blazers for "winning ugly" following the victory over the New York Knicks.
Portland have won 11 games in a row and Aldridge believes that the team is beginning to gel at the right time.
"I think this team is jelling together better than any other team I've been on," Aldridge, who had 18 points and 14 rebounds, told reporters.
"We're winning ugly and pretty games, like tonight. We didn't shoot it great but I thought we made plays down the stretch offensively and defensively. We're just winning different ways right now."
Portland have lost just two of their 15 games this season.
