The Portland Trail Blazers and San Antonio Spurs played a close game on Friday night in the Moda Center. Each team was shorthanded, Portland missing most of their centers and the Spurs a few of their guards. That led to a chaotic, streak-filled contest that came down to the final minute. When the dust cleared, the Spurs emerged victorious by a slim, 118-116 margin. The loss was Portland’s 17th of the season in 25 tries.
Here are some of the points that decided the game.
