The good news: The Blazers didn't blow a double-digit lead Tuesday night. The bad news: That's because they never led as the Spurs knocked Portland out of the playoffs 114-95.
The big picture: The details of the game are less important than the fact that the Blazers overachieved this year, making the playoffs for the first time since 2021.
That's despite their coach being arrested early in the season, an untested coach taking over, and injuries to key players throughout the season.
What we're watching: It should be a busy offseason, with new owners, who may seek yet another coach to lead the team, and open questions about how to upgrade the Blazers' roster.
Yes, but: Next time they play, Damian Lillard will be back on the court.
