In the final moments, Avdija had a chance to cap his historic night with a game-winning three-pointer, but the shot missed, sealing Portland’s defeat.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija appeared to be in no mood to discuss having arguably the best game of his five-year career during Sunday afternoon’s 133-129 overtime loss at the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Update: Deni Avdija (quad) is availalbe. Jerami Grant (knee) is out. • • • The Portland Trail Blazers caught a break leading up to their game Sunday afternoon at the Cleveland Cavaliers. All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell will take the day off to rest.

Both players missed Friday night’s 121-102 victory at the Brooklyn Nets. Grant was out with right knee soreness. Avdija sat out with a left quad contusion suffered during the first quarter of Wednesday night’s 129-121 victory at the Washington Wizards.

The Blazes led by as much as 18 in the third quarter but couldn't hold on, ending their four-game winning streak.

The standout performance was not enough to secure victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers, which beat the Portland Trail Blazers 133 to 129.
