February 13 1973 - The 1962/63 @NBA #ROY scored a season-high 21 points to help the @trailblazers secure a 20-point win vs the #BuffaloBraves.
#TerryDischinger, playing in his 10th and final season, connected on 9-of-11 FGA and scored 21 points in 21 minutes. "That's more points than I scored in a month," said Dischinger to #BillSchonely after the game. In addition, Dischinger recorded 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals.
Dischinger entered the game earlier than normal, subbing for a peeved #SidneyWicks with 4:04 remaining in the opening quarter. Wicks was irritated with #GeoffPetrie not passing during a fast break. Blazers coach #JackMcCloskey pulled Wicks and the two had words as Wicks sat. Wicks finished with a career-low 6 points, though he did grab 7 rebounds and tallied 4 assists.
Petrie led the #Blazers with 25 points while #LarrySteele, Dischingers' road roommate and Gin Rummy partner, added 19 points and had 7 steals.
In a much anticipated current #NBA #ROY matchup between #Portland rookie center #LloydNeal and #Braves center #BobMcAdoo, Neal came out on top ever so slightly. While McAdoo scored Neal 13 to 12, Neal out-rebounded his counterpart 18 to 5. In addition Neal was credited with 6 blocks. It is the fourth game Neal has grabbed 18 boards or more in his rookie season while McAdoo has only reached that mark once this season.
