DeRozan stars in Spurs victory

DeMar

DeRozan had a season-high 36 points and San Antonio Spurs overcame a big game by Damian Lillard to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 131-118 on Sunday night.

The Spurs held a rare practice Saturday morning following consecutive losses of 39 points and 31 points. The team responded with its highest scoring output in regulation this season. “Our communication was better,” DeRozan said. “I just told the guys, go out there and play, relax, don’t think too much.” (AP)
