Portland (42-31) (16-21 V) have won six of ten and have one road win in five tries. Portland's lead on sixth place in the West remained one-half game over New Orleans. The Blazers beat the Spurs on home court Friday, where Nicolas Batum scored at the buzzer to give the Blazers a 98-96 victory. Batum and Andre Miller finished with 21 points apiece, and Ginobili had 21 for San Antonio, which committed three turnovers in the final 40 seconds. That win was Portland's fifth in six games, but it followed with a 99-90 loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday. The Blazers (42-31), who matched a season high with their fourth straight road loss, couldn't take advantage of Gerald Wallace's season-high 40 points as LaMarcus Aldridge was the only other player in double figures with 20. The Blazers are attempting to avoid their first five-game road losing streak since Feb. 4-25, 2009, but will likely need better shooting than in their 95-78 loss at the AT&T Center on Dec. 12.
Santonio (57-16) (33-3 H) has won six of their last ten games and have won five straight on home court. The Spurs have lost a season-high three straight since Duncan sprained his left ankle in a win over Golden State last Monday, and they played without Ginobili for much of the second half of Sunday's 111-104 loss at Memphis. "We don't have time to worry about (injuries)," point guard Tony Parker said. "Timmy is not coming back anytime soon, so we just have to keep playing and make sure we pound that rock. Hopefully, it will go our way." George Hill tried to keep his team in the game by matching a career high with 30 points off the bench. Parker added 20 for San Antonio, which squandered a slim lead late. Because of a bruised left thigh, San Antonio guard Manu Ginobili's status is uncertain for the rematch at the AT&T Center. The Spurs are seeking their fifth consecutive home win and 27th in 28 games.
