SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) - All-Star Tony Parker and the San Antonio
Spurs look to remain undefeated this season against the Portland
Trail Blazers, who pay a visit to the "Alamo City" on Saturday.
Parker scored 23 points and Tim Duncan added 15, eight rebounds
and two blocks in Thursday's impressive 98-89 home triumph over
Southwest Division rival Dallas. The Spurs received a total
team effort with six players scoring in double figures.
With the win, San Antonio tied the Mavericks for the best record
in the Western Conference and atop the division. The Spurs
improved to 25-3 at home, just one game behind the mark of
league-leading Detroit.
Spurs forward Robert Horry was suspended by the NBA on Friday
for two games without pay for physical confrontations with
referee Dick Bavetta and Dallas swingman Jerry Stackhouse.
San Antonio has won the first two meetings with the Trail
Blazers this season, including a 106-75 romp here on January 4.
In the most recent matchup, Duncan collected 14 points, 17
rebounds and four blocks in a 86-82 road triumph on February 1.
The Spurs have taken 11 of the last 12 matchups in the series.
Zach Randolph had 20 points and eight rebounds and Steve Blake
scored 19 points to help Portland snap a six-game losing streak
with a 99-93 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.
