ATLANTA (Ticker) - LaMarcus Aldridge gave the Portland TrailBlazers a glimpse of why he was worthy of the second pick in the2006 draft.


Aldridge scored 29 points and Channing Frye added 14 off thebench to lead the Trail Blazers to a 102-89 win over the AtlantaHawks in a preseason game on Sunday.


The Chicago Bulls nabbed Aldridge with their first-round pick inlast year's draft before he was shipped to Portland in exchangefor two draft selections. The 22-year-old Aldridge had adecent rookie campaign - averaging 9.0 points and 5.0 reboundsin 63 contests.


The former Texas standout has been even better this preseason,averaging 15.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in the club's first twoexhibition contests.


Aldridge kept the Blazers in the game, scoring 13 of Portland's22 third-quarter points before his club exploded with an 11-2run to start the fourth quarter.


Center Joel Przybilla ignited the run with a bucket 32 secondsinto the final quarter to give the Blazers a 75-70 edge - asAtlanta's offense fell silent. Former Georgia Tech standoutJarrett Jack had four points in the run, including a bucket with8:37 remaining to give Portland an 84-72 lead.


Marvin Williams scored 18 points and rookie Al Horford had 14and 11 rebounds for the Hawks, who lost for the first time inthe preseason.


The Hawks came into training camp deep at point guard with fourNBA-tested players and first-round pick Acie Law IV. But theydressed just one on Sunday - 10-year veteran Anthony Johnson.

Starting point guard Speedy Claxton was rested for the secondstraight game, Tyronn Lue has yet to appear this preseason dueto a sore right knee and Salim Stoudamire is nursing a hamstringinjury.


Law, who had 10 points, six rebounds and six assists in hisfirst career preseason start on Thursday, injured his wrist inthat one and will have an MRI on Monday.


Atlanta also played without swingman Josh Childress (bruisedforearm) and center Lorenzen Wright (groin).


Portland was without swingman James Jones (left ankle),second-round pick Josh McRoberts (left ankle), seven-yearveteran Darius Miles (right knee) and rookie Greg Oden (rightknee). Oden, the first pick in this year's draft is out for theyear after undergoing microfracture surgery on his right knee.
