The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 114–93 on April 26 at the Moda Center, dominating the fourth quarter to secure a decisive victory well below the 217.5-point Vegas total. De'Aaron Fox led the Spurs with 28 points, while Victor Wembanyama added 27 points in a balanced two-pronged attack; San Antonio shot 49.4 percent from the field and made 14 three-pointers compared to Portland's 10. The Spurs' defense proved suffocating, holding Portland to a 92.0 offensive rating while posting a 116.9 defensive rating, and they forced 12 steals and recorded 10 blocks. Portland's D. Avdija led the hosts with 26 points and J. Holiday contributed 20, but the Trail Blazers managed just 40 percent shooting and committed 18 turnovers against San Antonio's 26 assists. The decisive fourth quarter saw the Spurs outscore Portland 40–19, a crushing differential that erased any competitive balance. San Antonio's superior ball movement (26 assists) and defensive intensity proved the difference, positioning the Spurs favorably for the playoff push.
