Israeli player Deni Avdija had a standout performance, nearing a triple-double with 21 points, 12 assists, and 8 rebounds, as his team, Portland, defeated Phoenix 132-119. This victory marked Portland's second win over Phoenix this season and improved their record to an impressive 6-1, placing them at the top of the Western Conference.
Avdija's 12 assists were just two shy of his career high in the league and brought him close to his first triple-double of the season. While his scoring was lower than in their previous matchup against Phoenix, he compensated with strong playmaking for his teammates. Portland trailed after the first quarter but, led by Avdija, Donovan Clingan, and Damian Lillard, took control of the game by the second quarter and maintained their double-digit lead.
The team's next challenge is a game against Luka Dončić and the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night. Following that, Portland will return home for a series of games against San Antonio and Oklahoma City. The article suggests that if Portland's strong performance continues, discussions about a championship may not be exaggerated.
