The Spurs came back to earth on Wednesday night with a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, as they were unable to contain Damian Lillard who killed the team on pick and roll plays. Tonight, they are looking to get back up, but in Mexico City, with an altitude of over 7,300 feet, they will have to get way up to compete against the Heat this afternoon.
