Even in the midst of the team-wide hot streak, the Spurs were riding last night against the Blazers, DeMar DeRozan’s 15 straight points at the end of the third stood out. His run carried the Spurs from down 4 with just under 5 minutes left in the third, to up 4 at the 1 minute mark. DeMar poured it in from all angles, hitting turnarounds and fadeaways, driving and cutting for layups, and drawing fouls.
He was especially deadly in transition and early offense, going 3 of 3 with an and-1 for 7 points on just 4 possessions in that stretch.
