SPURS

Johnson

"They made runs. They're a great team and sometimes you don't come out on top," Johnson said. "But we just got to keep fighting and keep putting together great performances and give ourselves a chance to win."

Poeltl

"It's tough because we felt like we had that game. We just couldn't close it out," Poeltl said. "We kind of gave them [Blazers] momentum in the fourth quarter and they took advantage of it. They ran away with it. Got the crowd behind them." 

BLAZERS

Chauncey Billups

"They [Spurs] ran a couple of good plays against our zone," Billups said. "But we adjusted to it. They were running a guy on the baseline, we made an adjustment on that. I thought we did a better job at that moment. One, making them take a tough shot but getting a rebound." 

Jerami Grant

"We have to give them [Spurs] credit," Grant said. "They did a good job at pushing the pace and running us."
