The Blazers earned one of their most gutsy and impressive wins of the season Saturday night at San Antonio, edging the Spurs 115-110 before 18,652 at Frost Bank Center. Playing the finale of a three-game trip and on the second night of a back-to-back, the Blazers (16-20) started hot, finished clutch and flexed plenty of mettle in between, avenging a painful November loss to the Spurs that prevented them from qualifying for the NBA Cup. “We’re really just sticking together,” Donovan Clingan told reporters after the game. “We’re figuring out what we have to do to win games, what we have to do to play well. And we’re not going off script … we’re listening to coaches. Everyone’s playing for one another and that’s really important.”

Trail Blazers PR: With tonight’s nine offensive rebound performance @ NOP, @clingan_donovan has 141 total offensive rebounds through his first 31 games of the season—the most ever by a Trail Blazer over their first 31 games of a season.

Sean Highkin: Donovan Clingan is listed as questionable for tomorrow in Memphis after missing yesterday’s game in Detroit with a left lower leg contusion. Would help explain why the Blazers recalled Yang Hansen from the Remix last night. Need bodies.
