The Portland Trail Blazers opened up a six-game road trip with a 121-116 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. CJ McCollum rescued an often-sloppy offense by scoring 32 points, including a blistering 6-11 clip from the three-point arc. Portland blasted out to a huge lead early, then spent most of the game frittering it away through lack of energy before rebounding for the victory in the final two minutes of the game. The win takes their record to 5-8 on the season.
San Antonio came out playing defense like they’d never set eyes on each other in their lives.
