Portland and San Antonio supplied fans several separate, yet wildly entertaining games in one this evening before the Blazers closed the game on a 17-5 run. DeMar DeRozan (16 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists), Bryn Forbes (19 points), and LaMarcus Aldridge (30 points and 13 rebounds) paced the Spurs, while the Blazers were led by CJ McCollum (32 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists), Hassan Whiteside (21 points and 12 rebounds) and Damian Lillard (22 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists).
Observations
- I am happy to report that there was a positive free throw disparity in the good guys’ favor tonight.
