The No. 2-seeded Spurs look to stay hot against 7-seed Portland in their first playoff series since 2019.
SAN ANTONIO — The postseason is back in San Antonio, and so is the excitement.
Fresh off their eighth 60-win season in franchise history, the San Antonio Spurs are entering the NBA Playoffs with real momentum and even bigger expectations. Standing in their way in the first round: the No. 7-seeded Portland Trail Blazers.
The Spurs took care of business in the regular-season series, going 2-1 against Portland, including a convincing 112-101 victory in their latest matchup on April 8. But as every NBA fan knows, the playoffs are a different beast.
One of the biggest storylines heading into the series is the health and endurance of superstar Victor Wembanyama. The young phenom has been a game-changer all season and has experienced playing in high-stakes games, most recently in the Summe Olympics.
Now the question is whether his MVP-caliber success in the 2025-26 campaign can translate to the grind of playoff basketball against elite competition.
For fans ready to tune in, navigating where to watch can be tricky in today’s world of streaming and broadcast splits. We’ve got you covered.
