The Portland Trail Blazers beat the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night 128-112 for their third straight win and fourth victory in five games. The victory kicked off six game road trip with a mostly comfortable win thanks to 37 points from Damian Lillard.Mostly comfortable because the Blazers saw their 19-point third quarter lead dwindle down to four late in the third before Lillard righted the ship and helped the Blazers hold off the Spurs for the double-digit victory. Lillard is good and he is on pace to become the Blazers all-time leading scorer perhaps over the weekend.How about some meaningless stats: The Blazers are 7-3 when Josh Hart attempts three 3-pointers and Portland is 8-4 when Shaedon Sharpe scores in double figures.
