The vibes of the no-Dame Blazers (on the court and in the size of the crowds) are BLEAK. – 10:18 PM

At the 8:37 mark of 1Q, we are still awaiting our first 2-point field goal of the game.
Portland hasn’t made a basket at all, only two Nurkic foul shots. Spurs have all nine of their points from the 3-point line, including six from McDermott. – 10:17 PM

Spurs open the game with a 7 point lead.

Thad Young is frustrated with his playing time on the Spurs.
“Right now, this situation is not ideal for me. I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve had to settle for 4 and 6 minutes a game… It’s super tough. It’s very tough and frustrating at times.” basketballnews.com/stories/spurs-…9:42 PM

Thad Young was blindsided by the Bulls-Spurs trade and found out through Twitter.
“It definitely caught me off guard. My agent had just talked to everybody in Chicago and we were being told that I was coming back… I would’ve rather found out from them.” basketballnews.com/stories/thadde…5:47 PM
