Portland guard Brandon Roy scored 41 points in the team's Christmas night victory over the Nuggets.

After opening gifts with his wife and kids in the morning, Roy said he virtually sequestered himself from his family for the remainder of the day.

He gave his parents their gifts when they arrived at his house, but returned to his bedroom shortly after until it was time for him to leave for the Rose Garden.

Roy went 8-for-20 from the field last Christmas in a loss to Dallas.

"I just felt like last year I didn't approach the Christmas Day game like I should," Roy said. "I enjoyed the day. Today, I said, 'No. I have a game tonight. I'm going to relax.' My family understood that."
