The Portland Trail Blazers shocked the NBA world on Tuesday, overcoming a massive fourth quarter deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 106-103 thanks to a 27-10 run to end the game. The series is now tied 1-1 heading to Portland.
The Blazers are being led by first-year head coach Tiago Splitter, who was given an interim title after Chauncey Billups was arrested back in October. Portland finished the regular season with a 42-40 record and the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference standings.
