Despite his great performance, Blazers managed to control the game and withstood a late San Antonio comeback to win 85-80 without Scoot Henderson, the No. 3 pick in the draft, and with Shaedon Sharpe struggling. Henderson sat out with a sprained right shoulder.
The Blazers’ main scorer on this night was point guard Michael Devoe, netting 29 points on 10-of-17 shooting and had five assists with zero turnovers.
