After last week’s annihilation at the hands of his former team, Drew Eubanks swore this game between the Spurs and Trail Blazers would be different, and it was ... for one quarter. After a lethargic start spotted Portland a 10-0 lead, the Spurs woke up and never looked back. They outscored the Blazers by 15 points to a take five-point lead into the second quarter, won that round 43-20, and the second half was nothing more than extended garbage time.
Even though it was a scheduled win against a tanking team, that didn’t mean it couldn’t be fun, and the Spurs sure did make it enjoyable.
