Five things to watch: Spurs vs. Blazers

Can the Spurs end their losing skid tonight in Portland?

SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (4-25) will visit the Portland Trail Blazers (8-21) tonight for the first game of a back-to-back versus Portland. The Spurs are on a five-game losing skid.

GAME REWIND

The Spurs are coming off a home loss versus the Jazz, 130-118.

Victor Wembanyama finished with 15 points and seven rebounds. Zach Collins had six points and four rebounds in the loss. Jeremy Sochan had 19 points and five rebounds. Keldon Johnson added 26 points and four rebounds. Devin Vassell recorded 22 points in the loss.

"We're not consistently offensively or defensively. We go in spurts. We really haven't matured enough to understand that to win an NBA game is difficult. It calls for consistency," Gregg Popovich said. "Part of that is youth. Part of it is probably the need to demand from certain people time to have to be more consistent or I make changes."
