NBA: record performance for Toumani Camara with 23 points, but Portland loses

Toumani Camara scored his career points record with 23 points on Tuesday, but the Portland Trail Blazers were largely beaten by Brooklyn (114-132) in the NBA, the North American basketball league. Not particularly skillful (7/21 shooting, 4/11 three-pointers), Camara added 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 2 interceptions to his performance, in 39 minutes.

The Brooklyn Nets were on a five-game losing streak when they visited the Moda Center in Portland. With three starters at 20 points or more, and an all-round Ben Simmons (5 points, 11 assists, 9 rebounds), Brooklyn dominated the local team led by Scoot Henderson. Like Toumani Camara, the guard set his career record with 39 points.
