Regular Season Round 56: Portland TB - Milwaukee B. 106-80

Date: December 20, 2010
LaMarcus Aldridge is playing the best basketball of his career, and it could not come at a better time for the Portland Trail Blazers. Aldridge had 29 points and a career-high 19 rebounds, and the Blazers shook off injury problems to rout the Milwaukee Bucks 106-80 Monday night. "This is the best I have played," Aldridge said. "Points in the paint, going to the basket, getting free throws, all those things are pretty high right now." Wesley Matthews added 22 points for the Blazers, who have won three in a row and had only eight players dressed after losing Dante Cunningham to a sprained right ankle early in the game. Rudy Fernandez added 17 points off the bench. The Blazers were without All-Star Brandon Roy for the third straight game. The 6-foot-11 Aldridge, averaging 19.1 points and 8.5 rebounds in his fifth NBA season, has rushed into the void left by Roy, who has missed six games this season and been uneven in others while struggling with a sore knee that has taken away much of his explosiveness. In the last four games, Aldridge has had games of 35 and 36 points, and has led Portland in rebounding in every contest. The Blazers tend to move the ball through Roy when he is on the court. Without him, Aldridge has been more aggressive. "He's playing like a monster and that's what we need him to do," Matthews said. "He's always had it but he's been deferring a little bit. Now he's putting the team on his back and carrying us through this stretch." John Salmons scored 14 of his 23 points in the third quarter for the Bucks (10-16), who have lost three in a row. Keyon Dooling added 12, while Luc Mbah a Moute and Drew Gooden each had 10. *Courtesy of www.foxsportswisconsin.com
