🏀 FRIDAY'S FINAL SCORES 🏀 Deni Avdija lifts the @trailblazers to victory as they move to 2-0! Toumani Camara: 19 PTS, Via @NBA on X

What happened: Avdija added 6 rebounds and 6 assists while Damian Lillard, Toumani Camara, Jrue Holiday and Ja Morant also contributed to Portland's win. Domantas Sabonis posted 27 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists for Sacramento in the final.

Why it matters: The win builds early regular-season momentum for Portland after Avdija steered the Trail Blazers to a preseason win earlier this month. Portland's balanced guard and wing rotation gave the Trail Blazers enough offensive creation to offset Sacramento's interior production.

By the numbers: Darius Acuff Jr. finished with 2 rebounds and 4 assists to go with his game-high scoring output.

What to watch: Portland continues its regular-season schedule looking to sustain its balanced offensive production, while Sacramento aims to rebound defensively in its next outing.
