Manu Ginobili had 17 points for the San Antonio Spurs which defeated the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night for their fifth straight victory.
Ginobili missed the previous game with minor ailments and his return was needed. Manu entered fire-hazard territory late in the second half of the San Antonio Spurs' 93-80 win over Portland, lighting up the Trail Blazers for all 17 of his points in the final 12 minutes, 53 seconds, including 14 in the fourth quarter.
