The 1990–91 NBA season was the 21st season for the Portland Trail Blazers in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the off-season, the Trail Blazers acquired Danny Ainge from the Sacramento Kings,[2][3][4] and later on traded second-year guard Dražen Petrović to the New Jersey Nets, and acquired former All-Star guard Walter Davis from the Denver Nuggets in a three-team mid-season trade.[5][6]

The Trail Blazers won their first eleven games of the regular season,[7] on their way to a franchise best start at a record of 27–3,[8] and holding a 39–9 record at the All-Star break.[9] The Trail Blazers posted a 16-game winning streak near the end of the season, and finished in first place in the Pacific Division with a league best 63–19 record, setting a franchise-high win total that still stands today, earning the #1 seed in the Western Conference, and made their ninth consecutive trip to the NBA playoffs.[10] It was their first Division title since the 1977–78 season,[11] and ended the Los Angeles Lakers' streak of nine consecutive years as Pacific Division champions, and number-one seed in the Western Conference.

Clyde Drexler averaged 21.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team, and finished in sixth place in Most Valuable Player voting,[12][13][14] while Terry Porter averaged 17.0 points, 8.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game, and Kevin Duckworth provided the team with 15.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game; Drexler, Porter and Duckworth were all selected for the 1991 NBA All-Star Game in Charlotte, North Carolina, with head coach Rick Adelman coaching the Western Conference.[15][16] In addition, Jerome Kersey contributed 14.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game, while Buck Williams provided with 11.7 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, and was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team. Off the bench, second-year forward Clifford Robinson averaged 11.7 points per game, and Ainge contributed 11.1 points per game.[17] Adelman also finished in second place in Coach of the Year voting.[18][19][20]

In the 1991 NBA playoffs, the Trail Blazers defeated the Seattle SuperSonics, 3–2 in the Western Conference First Round,[21][22][23][24] then defeated the Utah Jazz, 4–1 in the Western Conference Semi-finals.[25][26][27][28] However, the Trail Blazers were denied a second straight trip to the NBA Finals, falling to the 3rd-seeded Lakers in six games in the Western Conference Finals.[29][30][31][32] The Lakers would lose in five games to the Chicago Bulls in the 1991 NBA Finals.[33][34][35][36][37]

Following the season, Davis was released to free agency, and re-signed with his former team, the Denver Nuggets.[38][39]
