Trail Blazers 95, Spurs 83

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Brandon Roy scored 26 points and the Portland Trail Blazers took a big stride in the race for home-court advantage with a 95-83 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.

Clawing back from an early 19-point deficit, Portland won in San Antonio for the first time since 2002 -- and the timing was perfect.

Portland moved into a three-way tie with the Spurs and Houston for the third-best record (50-28) in the West with four games left. The Trail Blazers also took the season series 3-1, which could pay dividends if the seedings come down to tiebreakers.

Roger Mason scored 18 points for the Spurs.
