After Action Report
In Portland, the Spurs pulled away from the Trail Blazers 112-101. Spurs' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
