The San Antonio Spurs recorded a massive second-half comeback against the Portland Trail Blazers for the second straight time on the road, producing a stunning 114-93 win in Game 4 to grab a 3-1 lead in their best-of-seven series in the first round of the 2026 Western Conference Playoffs on Monday (PH time) at Moda Center.

Victor Wembanyama returned to the starting lineup after missing Game 3 due to concussion, scoring 27 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and issuing 3 assists. He made his presence felt on the defensive end, racking up 7 blocks and 4 steals in 34 minutes of action.

The Spurs continued to pile on the pressure in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Blazers 40-19 to grab the come-from-behind win and move to within a victory of reaching the Western Conference Semifinals for the first time in 10 years.
