The Spurs are moving on to the second round of the playoffs.
After taking down the Trail Blazers, 114-95, in Game 5 on Tuesday night, San Antonio officially eliminated Portland in five games and secured a date with the winner of the Nuggets-Timberwolves series (whenever that wraps up). The crowd at Frost Bank Center was absolutely rocking all night long, sensing the Spurs’ first playoff series win in nine years—and the team happily obliged. Led by a roaring, adrenaline-fueled Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio pounced on the opportunity to finish the Blazers off by getting out to a big lead early on. The Blazers made a late push but, like all quality playoff teams, the Spurs slammed the door shut to move on.
