Historic Aldridge!

Portland’s center caught on numbers never attained before in the history of the franchise.

The Trail Blazers achieved the victory thanks to the awesome performance of its best player: Lamarcus Aldridge. His 31 points and 25 rebounds triggered the famous strain “MVP! MVP! MVP!” sang by the fans.

The match did not start well for Oregon’s team, especially for Aldridge who ended the first quarter with a dreadful offensive performance scoring just 1 of his 8 shots. The intensity he placed under the boards, 9 rebounds in the first quarter, allowed his team to finish the first quarter with an even match. From then on, the center’s best scorer version appeared. Neither Howard’s defense, nor Casspi’s work overcame the historic night of Aldridge.

There is no doubt that he is among the 5 best centers of the NBA and the 5 fittest players in this beginning of the season. If he follows this way, he should be taken into account on the race for the MVP.
