Israeli basketball player Deni Avdija delivered a career-high 34-point performance, achieving the most efficient scoring game of the NBA season for any player scoring 30 points or more. Avdija's Washington Wizards defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 120-107 on Friday night, marking their third consecutive win. The Israeli star shot an exceptional 11-of-13 from the field, including 3-of-5 from three-point range, and was perfect from the free-throw line, sinking all 9 of his attempts. His shooting efficiency resulted in a True Shooting percentage of 100.2%, the highest recorded this season for a player with at least 30 points. This surpassed previous high-efficiency 30-point games by Alex Sarr (95.2%) and Paolo Banchero (91.9%). Avdija also recorded an effective field goal percentage of 96.2%. He finished the game with 6 rebounds and 4 assists in 35 minutes. Notably, Avdija's performance was remarkable as he only missed two shots in total (one from the field and none from the line), making him the first player this season to score 30+ points while missing only two attempts. This efficiency was highlighted in comparison to other high-scoring games, where players like Sarr missed free throws and Banchero missed multiple free throws despite high field goal percentages.
