Impact Avdija was the only first-unit player to register more than 10 points in the series final. The team was clearly outmatched, and although they were successful in containing Victor Wembanyama for most of the game, he roared back to life in the fourth quarter and put the game out of reach alongside a spirited performance from Julian Champagnie and the rest of the starters. There will likely be significant changes to Portland's roster in the offseason, but Avidja will remain as the team's centerpiece. Avidja achieved career highs in several categories this season, averaging 24.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists over 66 games.

Impact Avdija continues to do everything he can for the Trail Blazers, although, once again, fell short of victory. He has clearly been Portland's most consistent player, getting it done on both ends of the floor on a nightly basis. If the team has hopes of extending the series to a sixth game, Avdija is going to have to deliver another masterclass, this time on the road in San Antonio.

Impact The 25-year-old forward salvaged a poor shooting night with big volume at the free-throw line while falling one dime short of his second double-double of the series. Through his first three career playoff games, Avdija is averaging 21.0 points, 6.7 boards, 5.7 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 combined blocks and steals in 35.3 minutes, but he's shooting just 40.8 percent from the floor -- well below his regular-season mark of 46.2 percent.
