The San Antonio Spurs decimated the shorthanded Portland Trail Blazers, 133-96, as they hosted a three-point part at the Moda Center. Though the casual basketball fan probably couldn’t identify Trenton Watford, Brandon Williams, or CJ Elleby on the sidewalk, a win is a win, and the good guys got a much-needed confidence boost.
Dejounte Murray paced the Silver and Black with 28 points, six rebounds, and seven assists, while Keldon Johnson added 26 points, four board, and one steal. Ben McLemore led the charge for the Blazers with 23 points off the bench. And a familiar face also had a strong outing as Drew Eubanks notched a career-high 20 points and nine boards.
