Keldon Johnson and Malaki Branham each scored 17 points, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 118-105 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. This win comes during a stretch without head coach Gregg Popovich, who is recovering from a medical episode.
The Spurs managed to break a two-game losing streak, with Zach Collins and Julian Champagnie contributing 14 points each. Victor Wembanyama added 12 points, while Branham exited the game early in the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury.
For Portland, Deandre Ayton and Jerami Grant each scored 21 points, but the team struggled with their three-point shooting, finishing 9 for 32 from beyond the arc. The Spurs are looking to improve their scoring depth as they await the return of Devin Vassell.
