After Action Report
In Portland, the Spurs blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 122-96. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
