Deni Avdija and Damian Lillard lead Portland to win over Oklahoma City

In depth

Damian Lillard hit a three at the buzzer at the end of the third quarter, from almost the logo, and the crowd at the Moda Center in Portland went wild with enthusiasm. After the basket, Deni Avdija looked completely stunned and placed his hands on his head, and Chris Youngblood pressed his heels together in the air. In total, 19,367 spectators were present in the arena.

The Blazers beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 108:118, and Avdija matched his season-high in points and his career-high in steals. A day earlier, Avdija starred with 24 points in a 103:123 loss to the same opponent. Online, people were excited about his performance in the fourth quarter, noting that it was steady and that the Blazers were good.

Portland's coach praises Avdija and says: "His threes came at exactly the right time". Meanwhile, Maccabi Tel Aviv won a crazy derby, and on a network in France they are talking about Steph Clark's baskets in the fourth quarter.
