PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Greg Oden had 16 points and seven rebounds and the Portland Trail Blazers erased a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Denver Nuggets 98-96 in a preseason game Sunday night.
Roy, who played just under 12 minutes in the first three quarters, combined with Oden for the comeback and finished with 12 points.
Oden's slam dunk and Roy's layup narrowed Denver's lead to 86-85. Roy added a pair of free throws to put Portland ahead, but Chauncey Billups answered with a 3-pointer to make it 89-87 for Denver.
Oden hit a pair of free throws to tie it, before a layup and another foul shot to make it 92-89 for Portland.
Oden fouled out with 2:27 left but Roy's layup made it 94-89 and Portland led the rest of the way.
The Nuggets returned to exhibition play after a two-game series against the Pacers in Asia last week. Indiana won the first game 126-104 In Taipei, while Denver won the second 126-112 in Beijing last Sunday.
The Blazers were without forwards LaMarcus Aldridge, who has a knee contusion, and Rudy Fernandez, who has back spasms. Juwan Howard, acquired by the Blazers as a free agent in the offseason, started in Aldridge's place.
Carmelo Anthony was handed a technical foul early when he kicked a ball after being called for an offensive foul against Steve Blake.
But Anthony appeared ready for the regular season from the start, with 16 of his points in the first half. He finished with 21, sitting out the third quarter.
The Blazers, still tinkering with lineups, got energy from guard Jerryd Bayless, who drove for a layup that gave Portland a 26-23 lead.
The Blazers stretched the lead to 44-33 on Joel Przybilla's tip shot but the Nuggets narrowed it to 51-48 at the break.
Denver went up 58-57 on Nene's dunk midway through the third quarter, and traded the lead with Portland until Billups and Anthony made consecutive layups to give the Nuggets a 67-62 lead.
Arron Afflalo's 3-pointer made it 84-72 for Denver in the fourth quarter.
But the Blazers closed the gap when Greg Oden made a layup over two defenders and added a free throw to make it 84-79.
Oden and Roy had been played sparingly through the first three quarters after both collected early fouls.

Failblazers..I like that...
Bynum with 20 and 13 tonight.
That's definitely better than 16 points, what do you think about that Tlong?
Glad to see Oden has improved but 20 pts is nothing in pre-season Melo had 45 the other night ...
I was just letting tlong know that Bynum is the better player and will continue to be the better player the rest of Greg Oden's inevitable short career.
things would only be special if they were rarities.
i was wondering why it was so quiet lately, the blazers havent won in a while
Who cares about preseason games?
Eh, when you get some new players on the roster, players back from injury, the games are interesting to check out. See who's playing well, etc.
Bynum had 13 rebounds to Odens 7 tonight Tschlong.
ing stop spamming these threads noone cares about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what's up with Rudy, why's his back bothering him so much lately, did he play international ball this past summer?
I hope he's ok.
And talk about an unhealthy compe ion between Blake and Miller. Looked like a brick war out there.

As y as tlong is... im really gunning for Oden to do well. He seems like a real good guy, and i like his game.
I hope Oden does well.
Tlong's annoying antics cause me to feel ill-will towards his boys though.
C'mon guys! Oden and the boys are going to rip it up this season!
Let's Go Blazers!

Can we keep articles about one game in one thread? We don't need 3 Oden articles about one game posted in 3 different threads.
"FailBlazers", ing awesome term, Hermano.
Have we replaced Greek Homerism with Portland Failblazer Homerism?
Racist Lies!! Portland have best looking women! They spend 3 months every winter growing their beards!
To be fair, at this point the outlook on Bynum's career is not any better than Oden.
Plus the only few minutes they went against each other last season this is what happened:
