With Dejounte Murray out, San Antonio takes care of business against a woefully depleted...
Portland Trail Blazers forward Reggie Perry drives to the basket against San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV during the second half of an NBA basketball game Friday, April 1, 2022, in San Antonio. In a bit of news that does not quite qualify as breaking, the Portland Trail Blazers will not be making the playoffs this season.
With it, the Spurs left the arena having returned to 10th place, pending the outcome of the Lakers’ game against New Orleans late Friday night. The teams will play the fourth and final meeting of the season Monday at the AT&T Center. Considering the Spurs have won each of the previous three meetings by a combined 83 points, Portland will be hard-pressed to close the gap.1. If there was ever a good night to be without Murray, this was it.
Here’s guessing the Spurs might not require his services again Monday when the teams rematch at the AT&T Center either.The third-year guard acknowledged his missed layup at the end of Wednesday’s one-point loss to Memphis stuck with him for several hours after that game.Again, the playing-out-the-sting Blazers were the perfect tonic.
If any player on the Spurs roster needed a successful night, it was Johnson. Portland provided him one. Heading into that painful game against the Pelicans, Walker was in the midst of the best stretch of basketball of his career.It appeared as if he were finally finding his fit as an “instant offense” reserve.
