Deni Avdija Upset Suns

Avdija's performance included a go-ahead 3-point play with just 16 seconds remaining, capping a comeback from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit.

The Suns, led by Kevin Durant, were unable to respond in the final seconds and will now face a do-or-die game for the final playoff spot.

Portland's victory was described as a major upset, as the team had entered the tournament as significant underdogs.

The Blazers will now open a best-of-seven series against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.
