Ahead by 17 at the half, the Blazers lose by 21. From their peak, it's a 40 point turn-around. Completely blundered the 2nd half. It's like, when they missed a couple of shots, they all missed shots for the rest of the game. I don't think Matisse is being used well, but I'm not looking at match-ups. His ability to create turnovers and fast break opportunities is wasted when he's sitting on the bench.

"I looked up, and the Blazers were just standing around." "There were a dozen or so of those in the 2nd half."

The coaches seemed to not have solutions, yet Matisse, who made a career out of creating turnovers, was the only Blazer who sat on the bench. He must be injured. How could Yang Hansen get on the floor, but not Matisse?

114-93 Spurs, final.

The Spurs are winning this one, no question. The chippy-ness is too much for the refs. Double T.

I think, when the Blazers saw the Spurs cutting the lead with energy, Matisse and Sidy should have come in to the game. They're not going to score much, but they bring energy and turnovers.

Nice game, Spurs. Bad collapse, Blazers.

Chippiness?

When the home announcers announce "it's hard to watch," it's hard to watch. The Blazers have forgotten how to play basketball - the parts where you handle the screens well and make your shots.

"This place is stunned. Moda Center is absolutely stunned."

"The Spurs have been physical. The Blazers have been stagnant."

"The Spurs get the ball and slow it down. They have no need to play fast."

#TrailBlazers #Spurs #NBA

96-81 Spurs. Wemby "is screening his way into opportunities." "If he's a screener, he's a roller."

Blazers getting few FTs at home. Spurs getting plenty. 5:24 to go.

#TrailBlazers #Spurs #NBA

The Blazers lost the 3rd by 17 and are losing the 4th by 13. The 1st half was all Blazers. The 2nd half is all Spurs. "The Blazers have got to play defense with their offense."

#TrailBlazers #Spurs #NBA

There is 8:16 left in the game. It's 84-77 Spurs. Blazers timeout. Wemby is allowed to hold. It's another new NBA "stars get to cheat as the refs look away" rule.

#TrailBlazers #Spurs #NBA

With the Blazers out of challenges, the Spurs are holding more.

#TrailBlazers #Spurs #NBA

7-24 from the floor and 0 FT's for the Blazers in the 3rd. Awful. Getting screened to death on D.

#TrailBlazers #Spurs #NBA

After putting up a 19-point lead, the Blazers are now tied with the Spurs after 3, 74-74. San Antonio gets the ball to start the 4th. "The Blazers' offense is frozen."

#TrailBlazers #Spurs #NBA

58-41 Portland over San Antonio at the half. Victor Wembanyama played nearly 17 minutes and contributed 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle tied for high scorers for the Spurs with 10 each. For the Blazers, Deni Avdija has 13 points and 5 rebounds. Jerami Grant added 11 points. Top Blazers rebounders were Donovan Clingan with 6, and RWIII with 5.
