The team won by four and it was a low scoring game and that's the way they like it, while Marcin Gortat finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds, while John Wall had eight assists.
The Blazers and the Spurs play game 2 after San Antonio won the first game and Tony Parker is looking to continue his strong play for the Spurs.
