PORTLAND, Ore. Charlotte guard Gerald Henderson said that there wasn't much the Bobcats could do while suffering the worst defeat in franchise history.

The Portland Trail Blazers led by as many as 48 points and went on to beat the Bobcats 112-68 on Wednesday night.

"It gets to a point where it's just embarrassing, and you don't want to continue," said Henderson, who led Charlotte with 16 points before leaving the game with a right hamstring injury in the third quarter. "So you just have to continue to play hard. I love to play this game, so it's more of a pride thing than anything."

Charlotte's 44-point margin of defeat topped the previous franchise-worst in a 120-80 loss at Denver last March 2.

Jamal Crawford scored 24 points in 21 minutes for the Blazers, who improved to 10-1 at the Rose Garden this season. Gerald Wallace, traded to the Blazers from Charlotte last year, scored 23 points while LaMarcus Aldridge added 22 before Portland sat all of its starters in the fourth quarter.

It was the Bobcats' 10th straight loss, their longest losing streak since an 11-game slide from November 2007 to early January 2008.

Charlotte, which has the NBA's worst record at 3-20, was coming off a 106-73 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday night to open a four-game road trip. Charlotte has now lost 10 straight on the road, dropping to 1-12 away from home this season.

The Bobcats have been beset by injuries. Guard D.J. Augustin has been out with right toe inflammation, and forward Corey Maggette has a left hamstring strain.

"I don't have a full squad," Bobcats coach Paul Silas said. "That's the way I look at it. If I had a full squad and we were losing this way, it would be awful. But you take Aldridge and Wallace off their team and see what kind of team you'd have."

It was a season-high for points for the Blazers, and a season-low for the Bobcats. It was Portland's largest margin of victory since they beat Dallas 120-75 on Nov. 17, 1997.

Wallace, who is still bitter about the trade, didn't feel sorry for the Bobcats.

"Personally, I wanted to keep going. I didn't even want to come out of the game," he said. "It's one of those things where, like I said last year around this time, I didn't feel like I was traded, I felt like I was stabbed in the back."

The Bobcats shot 32 percent from the floor, compared to 55 percent for the Blazers.
