    • Portland has now won 12 of the last 15 meetings with the Grizzlies.

    • The Trail Blazers 8-1 record at home is 2nd best in the Western Conference so far this season, at 9-1 San Antonio is the only team with a better home record.

    • With eight baskets on the night LaMarcus Aldridge has surpassed Kevin Duckworth for 10th on Portland’s all-time field goals made list (2,856).

    • Aldridge scored 14 points before missing a shot, connecting on his first five field goal attempts of the night and his first four shots from the foul line.

    • Aldridge eclipsed the 20-point mark for the 11th time this season and for the eighth time in the past nine games, his 23 points marked the ninth time this season he’s led Portland in scoring.

    • Camby recorded a season-high 22 rebounds on the night, the most he’s ever recorded in a Trail Blazers uniform. He also finished with a team season-high five blocks.

    • Marcus Camby pulled down eight rebounds in the first quarter, Memphis had five rebounds collectively at the end of the first period.
