Spurs annihilate Trailblazers in Game 2, 99-139 (2-0).

Rudy Gay had a game-high 32 points in this massive blowout.

In unexpected fashion, Jeremy Lamb and Rudy Gay caught fire early, up 30-18, scorching-hot to put the Blazers into a giant hole that only got larger. 19 points were scored by Gay in 1st quarter alone on 7-9 shooting, with Lamb's 17 points for good measure (Spurs scored 43 in the quarter).

To their credit, Blazers scored 30 but got behind by that much before long. The Spurs went up 16 early to start 2nd QTR, then a 56-32 advantage erupted due to a 14-2 run. Soon Lamb had 20, Kawhi Leonard poured in shots from 3PT range before bowing out of the game, his team soon up 68-44.

Blazers star Damian Lillard was smothered, airballing a 3PTer, having gone 3-10 in first half. Lillard would score 24 points overall to spark a late 4th Quarter run, but on 9-26 shooting.

The Spurs made 19 three-pointers, including some from Davis Bertans who lit up Portland for 22 points. The score once read 75-48, with the Spurs up 27 points at halftime, making 10 three-pointers as a team by that mark--a 75-point first half performance! Spurs shot 56% in the first half.

The firestorm just kept pouring on Portland, forced to endue a Spurs 11-0 run, featuring a 3PTer hit by Gasol & two knockout blows by Bertans. Spurs up 95-55 at this point. San Antonio led by as much as 54 points, with Gay still on fire and Kawhi Leonard hitting a stepback jumper to hit the 5-oh! mark. The defense crippled Portland, and their own poor shooting made it worse. Jeremy Lamb caught the ball on an interception and sped up court for a ferocious dunk, the crowd astonished!

Lillard had 20+, but not efficiently, as Portland trailed by 53.

Portland mounted a folly double-team response, leading to an easy dunk for Gasol, then a 3PTer by Iman Shumpert capped a 15-7 run, up 106-64. Yet another 3PTer by Dejounte Murray (12 points) for 109-64 lead. The Spurs won the second quarter, 35-18, and the 3rd 39-18. They finished on 51% shooting, 100% from the charity stripe, claiming 11 offensive rebounds and dominance of 47-35 overall, sharing 25 assists with only 4 turnovers as a unit, nabbing 10 steals and brutalizing Portland with 17 fouls.

Gasol, Shumpert and Murray were 2/2 from long range, 6/6 overall, and Kawhi & Lamb only missed one a piece, combining for 7/9 overall. Bismack Biyombo and Kyle O'Quinn combined for 19 rebounds and 3 blocks. Lamb finished with 22 points. Leonard had 13 and Shumpert had 11. In the crushing defeat, Jusuf Nurkic had 18 points. Mo Harkless had 15 points. McCollum had 14 points on 4/11 shooting, going 2/8 from long range. Lillard was a sad, one-man army out there.
