Budinger's dunk midway through the fourth made it 86-73. Aldridge hit a 3-pointer with 8.9 seconds left to pull Portland within 92-87, but it was too late.
The Blazers were without Nicolas Batum, who has tendinitis in his left knee and is day-to-day. Jamal Crawford started in his place, finishing with 18 points.
Camby was traded to the Rockets the same day the Blazers dismissed McMillan. Portland also traded starting forward Gerald Wallace to New Jersey the same day.
Camby finished with nine points and 11 rebounds.
NOTES: Former Oregon running back and NFL draft prospect LaMichael James was at the game, as was former Blazer Clifford Robinson. ... The Rockets are 18-0 this season when they keep an opponent under 90 points.
