"In what could only be described as a "Toumani Camara Legacy Game," the Portland Trail Blazers soundly blew out a solid Eastern Conference playoff team in front of a mostly full Moda Center crowd last night, February 9. The Belgian Bestie was truly out of his mind, finishing with 30 points on 12 shot attempts (8-10 from three), three rebounds, three steals, and drew a charge-a trademark hustle play from the young NBA All-Defense award winner."
"This game saw the return of Deni Avdija to the starting lineup, the Blazers first All-Star since Damian Lillard, who quietly clocked in for a 26 point-10 rebound-8 assist double-double. With young phenom Scoot Henderson returning, after taking Saturday off, for his second appearance of the season the Blazers finally have a couple reliable point guards. The Philadelphia 76ers played slightly shorthanded without former MVP-winning Center Joel Embiid, in his place were former Blazers' legend Trendon Watford, and the oldest 32-year-old in the league, Andre Drummond."
