SAN ANTONIO -- On Sunday, San Antonio coach Mitch Johnson said De'Aaron Fox's performance in Game 4 of the team's first-round series with the Portland Trail Blazers "might've been his best game as a Spur."
Two nights later, Fox provided arguably his most definitive showing.
Fox dropped 13 of his team-high 21 points in the fourth quarter Tuesday in leading a 114-95 Game 5 win over Portland as San Antonio captured its first playoff series victory since 2017.
The Spurs now await the winner of the Denver-Minnesota series, which the Timberwolves lead 3-2.
