Points, Murray, 21.2 per game; rebounds, Poeltl, 9.3; assists, Murray, 9.3; steals, Murray, 2.0; blocks, Poeltl, 1.8Points, Lillard, 24.0 per game; rebounds, Nurkic, 11.1; assists, Lillard, 7.3; steals, Hart, 1.2; blocks, Nurkic, 0.6This marks the first of two consecutive games against the Trail Blazers at the AT&T Center. The Spurs won the two matchups in Portland by a combined 64 points.
The Spurs have won four of their past five, with the lone loss coming 112-111 against Memphis. Portland is 2-13 in March.Lonnie Walker missed a 3-pointer that did everything else but find the bottom of the net. As the rebound sailed out of bounds across the baseline, so too did Josh Richardson, attempting to save possession.As recently as two months ago, the 28-year-old Richardson was a member of a Boston Celtics team with firm playoff hopes.
The Portland Trail Blazer, who visit the AT&T Center for a pair of game starting Friday, have chosen a different path. “Pop sets the standard every single day that when you walk in the building, your expectation is to win,” said Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins, who cut his coaching teeth with the Spurs’ G-League affiliate from 2008 to 2013. “This organization has always been relentless about that.”He does not blame his former team for all but waving the white flag on a lost season.Still, Collins prefers life on a team that is still playing for something in April.
