Game 11 vs. Portland: Spurs 107, Trailblazers 98
Record: 9-2 Streak: W-3

There was lots to like about Monday night’s victory over the Trailblazers.

  • It was another road win. The Spurs are off to a 6-0 start — the only team undefeated on the road.
  • It was a back-to-back game, which have been historically problematic, to say the least. The Spurs had lost 2 of 3 second night games this year going into this one, including a loss to perhaps the league’s worst team.
  • Manu Ginobili had a breakout game, finally. Hard to believe it took him 11 games to score more than 20 points. His 25 included 18 in the fourth and 3 of 4 from behind the arc.
  • Zach Randolph continues to put up great numbers for my fantasy team. I was a little nervous after I traded Skinny for Z-bo, but so far he hasn’t disappointed.
