The San Antonio Spurs blitzed the Portland Trailblazers to open a 2-0 lead in this series. The Spurs won the two games by a combined 41 points. Portland is going to have to slow down the Spurs' offense which had its way in the two games played in San Antonio, and the recipe begins with their home court. They will have to summon their game six series clincher vs. Houston, where they held the high-octane Rockets' offense to 98 points for the clincher. Looking down the barrel of a 3-0 deficit, I think that Portland digs in tonight on the defensive end. Teams that are down at least two games in a best-of-seven series and playing as a home dog have produced a 57.8% win rate to the UNDER, as these teams dig in knowing that a loss is virtually fatal. Play the UNDER in this one.
