The Portland Trail Blazers, led by Israeli player Deni Avdija, have started the NBA season with a perfect 2-0 record, following a hard-fought 128-120 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night. Avdija was instrumental in the win, recording a near triple-double with 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists in 39 minutes of play. His performance included 8-of-16 field goals, 1-of-5 three-pointers, and 9-of-12 free throws, along with 3 turnovers and a steal, and a team-high plus-minus of +12.
The game was significantly closer than Portland's season-opening blowout against Phoenix, with the outcome uncertain until the final minutes. The Kings were powered by Domantas Sabonis, who achieved an impressive triple-double with 27 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists. On the other side, Emanuel Sharpe contributed 5 points for Sacramento.
Avdija's offensive contributions were complemented by his teammates, with Damian Lillard scoring 19 points and Ja Morant adding 12 points and 7 assists. The Trail Blazers will now have an extended break of four nights before their next game.
Portland's next challenge will be against the Los Angeles Lakers, who also hold a 2-0 record to start the season. A victory in that matchup would serve as another significant statement for the Trail Blazers early in the season.
