Spurs come from 15 down in second half to beat Trail Blazers 120-108, take 2-1 series lead

•Yahoo Sports

Rookie Dylan Harper sparked that run, and the Spurs pick up a win without Victor Wembanyama.

With 4:48 left in the third quarter, Portland took a 15-point lead on a Jerami Grant free throw. The Trail Blazers appeared in control of Game 3 against a shorthanded Spurs team without Victor Wembanyama. That control was an illusion.

San Antonio stormed back behind the play of rookie Dylan Harper — by the end of the third quarter, the Spurs were already ahead by one. Then, in the middle of the fourth quarter, San Antonio went on a 15-1 run to pull away. By 4:05 left in the game, it was a 15-point Spurs lead — a 30-point swing in San Antonio's favor.

During that run, Dylan Harper scored 20 of his 27 in the night, shooting 7-of-8, including 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. He was putting on a show. DYLAN HARPER @DwyaneWade and @Candace_Parker couldn't believe this dunk from the @spurs rookie pic.
