Deni Avdija delivered an impressive performance with 30 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in the Trail Blazers’ loss to the Spurs. Despite his strong start, logging 19 points by halftime, Avdija’s influence waned in the second half as Portland struggled offensively. With no other teammate surpassing 20 points, the Blazers may need broader contributions in Game 2 to avoid another defeat.
