AT&T CENTER – Wednesday, the San Antonio Spurs suffered just their 15th loss of the season, as they had trouble on the defensive end of the floor, containing the dynamic backcourt of the Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers’ backcourt of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum combined for 62 of the Blazers’ 110 points on the evening.
Rewinding to the last 14 seconds of the game, the Blazers had just taken a 106-102 lead after McCollum made two free throws. The Spurs called timeout and diagramed an excellent corner HAMMER set after the timeout (ATO), which the team ran to perfection, as Manu Ginobili delivered a bounce pass on the money to Patty Mills in the corner for the made three.
