By HD.

The Trail Blazers lost to Oklahoma City Yesterday, but today, they weren't ready for another loss. The Blazers beat the snake-bitten Spurs tonight, 100-92. Here's what happened.....

The Spurs were without 3 huge guys, Tim Duncan, a foot injury, Manu Ginobilli, sitting out with a injured leg, and so did Tony Parker.

The Blazers were facing young guns, such guys like George Hill, and Dejuan Blair.

The Blazers got off to a quick start with a 28-22 lead at the end of the 1st quarter, looking pretty sharp, and continued that sharpness into the 2nd quarter.

The Blazers had as much as a 9 point lead in the 1st half, taking a 58-51 lead at the half, but in the 3rd, the Spurs made their run. Just like a normal NBA Best team should.

The Trail Blazers scored only 9 points in the 3rd quarter, having more Turnovers than FG's. The Spurs opened on a 9-1 run on a pair of Free throws by Tiago Splitter. Then, after a long huge 3 by Gary Neal for the Spurs, put San Antonio up 72-67 at the end of the 3rd quarter.

The Spurs opened up the last quarter with a 8-3 quick run and the Blazers were now down by 8. The Blazers would then make their run.

81-74 lead for the Spurs, the Trail Blazers Andre Miller got a lay-up to make it a 5 point game. Then, Last Friday's Hero vs. the Spurs, Nicolas Batum drilled a 3 pointer to make it a 2 point game.

Wesley Matthews made it a 1 point game with a free throw, then Andre Miller added another 2 points to put the Blazers up by 1 with a lay-up. Nicolas Batum would make a quick 14 foot jumper, then Gerald Wallace drain a 3 pointer to put the Blazers up 6 with 2:01 to play.

After a missed 3 point play by Tiago Splitter, Wesley Matthews made 2 Free throws and the Trail Blazers just made free throws from here on out.

Andre Miller had 26 points, Wesley Matthews had 19, Gerald Wallace added 14, Nicolas Batum finished with 10 and Brandon Roy had 11.

The Blazers magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 5. Haha, talking about this reminds me of last years Reds season. The Blazers will go to 43-31 and will face the currently 7th spot, New Orleans Hornets on Wendsday.

The Spurs are still the best in the NBA, 57-17, and they have lost 4 straight.
