The Israeli scored 18 points, made 8 assists, grabbed 5 rebounds, and also added 3 blocks. Portland opened up a big lead even before halftime and maintained it until the end.

Avdija returned in good shape and hopes to continue like this in Portland's next game. Because he played, he can still receive one of the season's awards. If he plays all the remaining games, he can win the title of 'Most Improved Player'.
