In his first NBA action -- even if it was an exhibition game -- the Blazers' Greg Oden finished with 13 points, five rebounds and two blocks in 20 minutes. He tired easily, but of his five baskets, four were dunks, many of them coming after he patiently waited for his opening to rise above the rim. He also emphatically sent back a dunk attempt by Sacramento center Spencer Hawes and he drew nine fouls on Kings players. When he left, the Rose Garden crowd gave him a standing ovation, with some bowing to him with outstretched arms.
