Portland at San Antonio

Portland really struggles on the road, getting behind early before their opponents relax a bit. It seems like the good teams like to put them away early. When they have played teams with a winning record on the road their last three first half road performances they barely scored: at Utah 35, at Phoenix 32 and at Detroit 41. They are 13-3 UNDER the first half this year on the road! Portland is a slow-down type team (averaging just 76 shots per game) and San Antonio is 21-8 UNDER the first half total at home vs. these types of teams over the past decade. We will play the FIRST HALF under.
