Trail Blazers sweep the Thunder with a 118-108 win
Deni Avdija scored 28 points and Portland held Oklahoma City to 42% shooting while closing the game with a 38-21 third quarter.
- On Wednesday, the Portland Trail Blazers defeated Oklahoma City 118-108, completing a two-game sweep of the Thunder at Moda Center. Deni Avdija led Portland with 28 points, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 31 for Oklahoma City.
- The Thunder ruled out guard Ajay Mitchell before Wednesday's game due to a left ankle sprain, joining absent key players Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams. This injury further depleted Oklahoma City's rotation during a challenging stretch.
- Toumani Camara limited two-time MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to 9-for-20 shooting, while Isaiah Hartenstein contributed a season-high 20 points for Oklahoma City. Jrue Holiday added 19 points off the bench for Portland, providing crucial depth.
- According to Portland head coach Micah Nori, "last two little flurries — the Deni three at the end of the third, and obviously Dame's — to extend it a little bit, kind of put it away." The win improved the Trail Blazers to 8-3.
- The Trail Blazers visit Sacramento on Friday, while the Thunder face the L.A. Clippers. These back-to-back victories end a stretch where Portland had lost 19 of its prior 20 meetings against Oklahoma City.
