SAN ANTONIO -- On the road, down 16 to the Spurs with under six minutes to play in the third quarter and with no Damian Lillard there to save the day.
Nevertheless, Trail Blazers win.
The Trail Blazers got 39 points from their bench, outscored the Spurs by 10 points in the second half and forced timely turnovers in the fourth quarter to come away with a 107-106 victory in front of a sellout crowd of 4,303 Friday night at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
“I think it was an important win,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts.
