The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 115–102 on November 26 at the Moda Center, staying well below the Vegas total of 240.5 points. Domantas Avdija led Portland with 37 points, while the Spurs countered with dual scoring threats in De'Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell, who combined for 60 points. San Antonio's defense proved decisive, holding Portland to a 42.5 field-goal percentage and forcing 18 turnovers while posting a 96.0 defensive rating compared to Portland's 113.9. The Spurs dominated the glass with 57 rebounds to Portland's 48 and shot 11 three-pointers against the Blazers' nine. A pivotal third quarter saw San Antonio outscore Portland 35–32, building separation that the hosts could not overcome despite a strong opening half. The Spurs' 12 steals and turnover discipline—just nine miscues—underscored their control throughout. Portland's fourth-quarter collapse, scoring just 16 points, sealed the outcome. The loss drops Portland further behind in the Western Conference playoff picture while the Spurs continue establishing themselves as a legitimate defensive force.
