After Action Report
In Portland, the Spurs survived the Trail Blazers 103-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
