Portland Trail Blazers rookie center Donovan Clingan recorded a blocked shot during the third quarter Friday night at the Houston Rockets to push him past a legend to set a new franchise record.

The Grizzlies torched the Trail Blazers 134-89, easily the Trail Blazers' worst loss of the season. The Trail Blazers were thrashed by a Grizzlies team without star Ja Morant, as they shot just 34 percent from the field and 9.

Donovan Clingan smiled ear-to-ear as the Blazers presented him with his UConn national championship rings from last season.
