Apr 28, 2026; San Antonio, Texas, USA; San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (24) dunks ahead of Portland Trail Blazers forward Sidy Cissoko (91) during the first half of game five of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Frost Bank Center. Mandatory Credit: Scott Wachter-Imagn Images De’Aaron Fox scored 13 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter as the host San Antonio Spurs defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 114-95 on Tuesday to close out a 4-1 victory in the teams’ first-round Western Conference playoff series.
Victor Wembanyama racked up 17 points, 14 rebounds and six blocked shots as the second-seeded Spurs secured a berth in the conference semifinals vs. either third-seeded Denver Nuggets or sixth-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves. It is San Antonio’s first trip to the second round of the playoffs since the 2016-17 season.
San Antonio was in cruise control from the opening minutes and led by 28 points in the first half, by 20 at halftime and by 21 points after three quarters.
The Trail Blazers pulled within 97-88 on a three-point play by Jrue Holiday with 5:46 to play but never made a serious run the rest of the way as Fox made big play after big play to help San Antonio close out the victory.
Julian Champagnie added 19 points for the Spurs, with Dylan Harper scoring 17, Stephon Castle hitting for 15 before fouling out with 4:36 remaining and Devin Vassell tallying 10 points. Fox dished out a game-high nine assists.
Deni Avdija’s 22 points paced Portland. Jerami Grant added 12, Robert Williams III and Sidy Cissoko scored 11 points each, and Donovan Clingan hit for 10.
Champagnie hit three 3-pointers, and had his toe on the line for a fourth, while scoring 11 points in the first quarter and helping the Spurs to a 36-24 advantage after 12 minutes of action.
San Antonio poured in on the second period, pushing its lead to 54-28 after a Wembanyama 3-pointer at the 6:45 mark. The Trail Blazers reeled off nine straight points capped by a dunk from Clingan to cull the margin to 17, but San Antonio swung back, with a three-point play by Luke Kornet highlighting a 12-2 run that built the lead to 65-37.
The Spurs were up 65-45 at the break even though Wembanyama took just three shots (and made them all) while scoring seven first-half points. Champagnie led the way with 14 points and Fox dished out seven assists in a first half that San Antonio outshot the Trail Blazers 66.7% to 36.5%.
Avdija’s 16 points led all scorers before halftime.

Apr 28, 2026; San Diego, California, USA; Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner (2) hits a two-run double during the sixth inning against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. Mandatory Credit: David Frerker-Imagn Images Nico Hoerner’s two-run double snapped a sixth-inning tie and Pete Crow-Armstrong broke open the game with a three-run homer Tuesday night as the visiting Chicago Cubs stopped the San Diego Padres 8-3.
The game was tied 2-2 when Hoerner lined his two-bagger into right-center field, scoring Nicky Lopez and Crow-Armstrong. Both runs were charged to reliever Kyle Hart (0-1), who issued a pair of walks before being lifted for David Morgan.
After San Diego pulled within 4-3 in its half of the sixth on a two-out RBI single by Luis Campusano, Chicago blew it open with four runs in the seventh, all with two outs. Pinch hitter Alex Bregman poked a run-scoring single to right before Crow-Armstrong unloaded his second homer of the year over the center field wall.
Edward Cabrera (3-0) earned the win after lasting 5 2/3 innings and allowing three runs off six hits and a walk while striking out seven. Padres starter Walker Buehler pitched 4 2/3 innings, yielding three hits and two runs with three walks and four strikeouts.
Buehler got himself into second-inning trouble by issuing consecutive walks to Ian Happ and Michael Busch. Dansby Swanson, who left after the half-inning with a left glute cramp, cashed them in with a two-run double to the wall in left-center.
San Diego pulled a run back in its half of the second when Xander Bogaerts jacked his fifth homer of the year just inside the left field foul pole. The Padres tied the game in the fourth via Ty France’s RBI single that scored Bogaerts, who walked and stole second.
But the Padres simply couldn’t hold off the Cubs’ attack. Chicago finished with eight hits and got help from San Diego pitchers, who combined to walk six, toss three wild pitches and hit two. Bregman and Seiya Suzuki each collected two hits.
Padres manager Craig Stammen left the dugout in the eighth inning to catch a flight in order to attend a funeral. Bench coach Randy Knorr ran the team for the game’s remainder and will act as the manager for Wednesday’s series finale.
