Bouncing back from a difficult loss against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Portland Trail Blazers decimated the San Antonio Spurs on Monday 147-127. It was a night the Trail Blazers needed. With the win, the team snapped a three-game losing streak and put itself back on track to regain momentum as they look to make noise in the West.
Prior to the game, Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups acknowledged that there are things he can do better as a coach who is still learning. When asked about these comments by reporters, star point guard Damian Lillard praised Billups for accepting a portion of responsibility for the team’s recent struggles.
