""Mar-cus Cam-bee!" the partisans chanted in unison.

The tribute was on target. On a night when Portland learned it could be without Brandon Roy for the rest of the season, Marcus Camby was celestial, or something very close to it.

Camby, looking a decade younger than his 36 years, was a man possessed in leading Portland (50-31) to the 103-95 win that was pivotal in positioning for the Western Conference playoff race.

The veteran center collected a season-high 30 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, knocking down 12 of 16 shots as the Blazers - a day after beating the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center - assured themselves of no worse than seventh place in the West. Portland - which avoided a first-round playoff date with the Lakers in the process - can clinch sixth with a win at home Wednesday against Golden State in the regular-season finale."
