The Spurs carry a 2-1 series lead into Game 4 after a resilient 120-108 road victory in Game 3 on April 24, where they overcame the absence of Victor Wembanyama. San Antonio dominated Game 1 (111-98) but dropped a thriller in Game 2 (103-106) before responding strongly on the road. Portland stole Game 2 with clutch late-game execution but has struggled to sustain momentum against San Antonio’s depth.
Team Records
San Antonio Spurs: 62-20 overall (2nd seed in West), 30-12 on the road in the regular season. Playoff record: 2-1.
Portland Trail Blazers: 42-40 overall (7th/8th seed in West via play-in), 24-17 at home in the regular season. Playoff record: 1-2.
Recent Team Forms
Spurs (playoff context and recent trend): Dominant 62-20 regular season with elite efficiency (119.8 PPG scored, 111.5 allowed, +8.3 net rating). In the series: explosive offense in wins (111 and 120 points) and clutch resilience in Game 3 without their star. Stephon Castle has emerged as a playoff standout (33 points in Game 3).
Trail Blazers (playoff context and recent trend): Competitive 42-40 regular season with balanced but limited efficiency. In the series: gritty road steal in Game 2 (led by Scoot Henderson’s 31 points) but outscored in the other two contests. They are 1-1 at home in the playoffs heading into Game 4.
Injury Report
Spurs:
Victor Wembanyama (concussion): Questionable / day-to-day. Suffered the injury in Game 2; missed Game 3 but has been traveling with the team and progressing toward clearance.
Jordan McLaughlin (ankle): Questionable / day-to-day.
David Jones Garcia (ankle): Out for the season (post-surgery).
Trail Blazers:
Damian Lillard (Achilles): Out for the season. A massive loss for Portland’s veteran leadership and scoring.
Wembanyama’s status remains the pivotal X-factor—if he returns, San Antonio’s interior dominance and rim protection skyrocket; without him, the Spurs will lean heavily on rookie Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, and small-ball lineups.
Key Player Matchups
Stephon Castle (SAS) vs. Scoot Henderson / Portland guards: Castle exploded for 33 points in Game 3. His scoring and playmaking will test Portland’s perimeter defense.
Dylan Harper / De’Aaron Fox (SAS) vs. Jrue Holiday / Deni Avdija: Harper (10 rebounds in Game 3) and Fox provide scoring bursts; Holiday (29 points in Game 3) remains Portland’s veteran engine.
Rebounding/Interior: Spurs’ depth (including potential Wembanyama return) vs. Blazers’ Donovan Clingan (strong rebounding in series) and Toumani Camara. San Antonio’s offensive rebounding edge has been noticeable.
Series History
This marks the fifth playoff series between these Western Conference foes. The Spurs hold a commanding historical edge, winning three of the previous four series and leading the all-time playoff game count 15-7. Regular-season meetings in 2025-26 favored San Antonio, continuing their recent dominance over Portland.
