The Spurs have been showing a mix of grit and growth in their recent games. Despite a tough season with more losses than wins, there's no denying the fight in this team. In their last encounter against Utah Jazz, they put up an impressive 118 points but fell short as Jazz scored 130. The Spurs led for nearly 19 minutes and showcased their ability to score from fast breaks, contributing 22 points from such plays.


One notable trend is the Spurs' three-point shooting accuracy which stood at an impressive 46 percent against Jazz. Their assist-to-turnover ratio was also commendable at four, indicating smart ball handling and teamwork.


However, defense remains a concern as they allowed 130 points against Jazz with a defensive rating of over 123 points per hundred possessions. Improving on this end will be crucial when facing Portland's offense.


The upcoming game is not just another match; it’s an opportunity for the Spurs to demonstrate resilience and perhaps turn around their season narrative by securing more victories.


Fans can catch all the action live on BSSW or ROOT Sports NW depending on their location. The game is scheduled for December 29th at Moda Center in Portland – tip-off time being adjusted for Central Time Zone viewers back home in San Antonio.
