Wembanyama shines as Spurs grab 1-0 series lead, Blazers ready for Game 2 adjustments

Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama erupted for 35 points and elite defense to lift San Antonio to a 111-98 Game 1 win and a 1-0 series lead over Portland. Game 2 in San Antonio will hinge on Blazers adjustments, how to throttle Wembanyama during his minutes, and which bigs can crash the glass. With Damian Lillard out for Portland and Jordan McLaughlin out for San Antonio, both teams look to tighten rotations and seek more efficient offense before the series heads to Portland.
