How time has flown since the last time the San Antonio Spurs faced off against the Portland Trail Blazers. We’ve entered a new year, the Spurs decided to be one of the most active trade partners in the NBA, and the Blazers have lost both Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum for the season (one due to injury and the other to a trade). On December 2, the Spurs put on one of their best performances of the season, beating the Blazers 114-83. This was the third win of the Spurs’ season best four-game winning streak.
Now, the Spurs look to use the Blazers to continue their winning ways again after defeating the Golden State Warriors 110-108 behind the heroics of Keldon Johnson.
