Israeli basketball player Deni Avdija, who plays for Portland, set a career high in assists, but his team ultimately fell 128-112 on the road to Denver. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak and prevented the Blazers from climbing back into eighth place in the West. Meanwhile, Israeli Ben Sharf (19) also recorded a personal career high in the NBA with 22 points in his team Brooklyn's game, which suffered a seventh consecutive loss — 126-122 on the road at Sacramento — in a battle between two of the weaker teams in the American basketball league.
