The Portland Trail Blazers, with Israeli player Deni Avdija, kicked off their NBA season with a decisive 124-83 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Avdija, who had been questionable due to an ankle injury, contributed significantly with 18 points and 10 rebounds, achieving a double-double in the season opener. This performance marks his seventh NBA season. The team's strong start was fueled by a remarkable 21-0 run, the largest opening scoring run in the NBA over the last 25 seasons, which effectively decided the game early on. The Trail Blazers' victory was their third largest in a season opener in franchise history. The team also saw strong performances from Jah Morant, who posted 14 points, five rebounds, and eight assists, and Damian Lillard, returning from a year-long Achilles tendon injury, who exploded for 25 points, including six three-pointers. The article suggests that the addition of two new key players during the summer has transformed the team, indicating that Portland may no longer be a one-man team and could potentially contend for a championship.
