Jusuf Nurkic had a memorable home debut Thursday in the Portland Trail Blazers' 114-109 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder at Moda Center.

The newest addition to the Trail Blazers delighted the home crowd with an 18-point, 12-rebound double-double that also included six assists, five blocks and a pair of steals. He became the first Blazer with 15-plus points, 10-plus rebounds, five-plus assists and five-plus blocks since Cliff Robinson (who was in attendance Thursday night) in 1992.

"He gives us something we haven't had for the last two years," Blazers point guard Damian Lillard said of Nurkic. "A guy that can get the ball on the block, he can pass from the block and he can really score on the block. Good skills and good feel for the game. That gives us an opportunity to pass and cut. He's hitting guys when they cut and when it's one on one, he's scoring. You can trust his basketball IQ. ...

"And on the defensive end, guys have to bang against him. That takes a lot of energy out to have to bang with him on both ends of the floor. So I think those are some of the things that he's brought to the game that we haven't had."
