Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> fans are used to seeing Yang Hansen and Donovan Clingan<\/a> work together to lock down the paint at the Moda Center. However, the NBA Rising Stars game on Friday night forced the twin towers into a rare confrontation that left Clingan on the wrong side of a viral moment.<\/p>\n

The energy inside the building surged as the two giants squared off, turning a friendly exhibition into a high-stakes battle for locker room bragging rights.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the night arrived when Hansen isolated against Clingan at the top of the key. Hansen, the skilled 7-foot-3 center from China, gave a quick shoulder shimmy before selling a jump shot fake that completely fooled his teammate.<\/p>\n

Clingan bit hard on the move, lunging toward the perimeter as Hansen calmly glided past him toward the rim. Hansen finished the play with an easy bucket and a cheeky grin, clearly enjoying the chance to put his fellow rookie on a highlight reel.<\/p>\n

Hansen finished as the high-point man for Team Austin, tallying 10 points and one rebound while going 4 of 5 from the free-throw line. Team Melo eventually secured a 65-60 victory, but Hansen\u2019s offensive versatility was the talk of the arena.<\/p>\n

On the other side, Clingan proved why he is a defensive menace<\/a>, recording 3 rebounds, though those defensive stats might not be enough to live down the pump fake just yet.<\/p>\n

The game reached a fever pitch when Dylan Harper drained a game-winning shot<\/a> over his brother, Ron Harper Jr., but the internal rivalry of the Trail Blazers provided the most entertaining subplot of the evening.<\/p>\n

Portland has invested heavily in its frontcourt, and seeing both players thrive on a national stage confirms the franchise is heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n
