The Portland Trail Blazers got a little payback while extending their stay in Las Vegas by defeating the San Antonio Spurs 94-87 in the quarterfinals of the Summer League tournament Saturday afternoon at Thomas & Mack Arena on the campus of UNLV.
With the win, the Trail Blazers move on to the semifinals of the summer league tournament where they will face the winner of Grizzlies vs. Heat Sunday afternoon. Portland is 4-2 in summer league play.
The Trail Blazers entered Saturday’s quarterfinal having already lost to the Spurs 99-85 in preliminary play, with that initial meeting being a close affair through most of the first half before San Antonio pulled away for the easy victory.
