LaMarcus Aldridge had a nice rookie season last year with the Portland Trail Blazers, as he averaged 9 points and 5 rebounds per game in 63 games including 22 starts. Well Sunday he looked like he was starting to ratchet up his level of play several notches, as he scored a game high 29 points, as well as 9 boards as Portland stopped the Atlanta Hawks winning streak at three games winning 102-89. Aldridge was one of four Trail Blazers to be in double figures, and center Joel Pryzbilla had a game high 12 rebounds. The Hawks also has four players in double figures led by forward Marvin Williams who had 18, Atlanta now falls to 3-1 in the pre-season while Portland improves to 2-1.
