After Action Report
In Portland, the Spurs demolished the Trail Blazers 129-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
