NOTABLE
The Blazers have owned the series of late, winning eight of their past nine vs. the Spurs. The Spurs’ lone win in that stretch was 95-78 on Dec. 12 last season at the ATT Center. … Portland is the only NBA team to win three straight season series against the Spurs. … Spurs have not scored 100 points against the Blazers since Dec. 2, 2007, a streak of 12 games. … Spurs are 7-0 at home for the first time since 2007-08, when they opened with 13 straight wins at the ATT Center.
