The Portland Trail Blazers took on the Spurs Saturday night at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. It was the third and final game of a Texas road trip during which they lost in head-scratching fashion to the terrible Dallas Mavericks and almost but not quite completed an improbable comeback against the Houston Rockets.
And despite the return of Damian Lillard (33 points) from an ankle injury that caused him to sit out the Houston game, the Blazers (48-32) still couldn’t locate their Lone Star State mojo.
