Gortat registered 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-6 FT), 15 rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes in a 125-124 overtime win over the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
In addition to the quality stat line, Gortat created havoc on the defensive end all night, limiting opposing center Jusuf Nurkic to seven points on 2-of-8 shooting in 28 minutes. Gortat has proven himself as a regular double-double threat when he receives 30-plus minutes, but that doesn't happen quite as frequently now that top backup Ian Mahinmi is healthy. This was just the third time in nine games that Gortat surpassed the 30-minute mark.
