PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland was dealt a tough blow in what should have been a straightforward win against short-handed San Antonio.Starting centre Robin Lopez broke his right hand in the third quarter and will be out for a while, coach Terry Stotts said after the Blazers defeated the Spurs 108-95 on Monday night.Lopez has not missed a game for the Blazers since coming to the team in the summer of 2013. He gave Portland some badly needed stability at the position.Its a little frustrating, said Lopez, who said there was perhaps two breaks in his hand, and that it would be reevaluated on Tuesday. Ive been pretty fortunate with injuries in my career.Portland will likely start Chris Kaman, who has been Lopezs backup this season after signing with the Blazers as a free agent this summer.Hes a big part of this offence and this team and our identity, LaMarcus Aldridge said about Lopez. He does so many things that people dont notice. Hes a hard worker, the guy that does all the things that nobody else really does in the first unit. So its going to be tough.Aldridge had 23 points and 14 rebounds for his 13th double-double this season. Damian Lillard also had 23 points and a career-high 10 rebounds for Portland, which has won seven of nine.Kawhi Leonard had 21 points and nine rebounds for the Spurs, who had just 10 players available. Tim Duncan, who had 15 points and nine rebounds in a 99-91 victory the night before, was given the night off.In addition to Duncan, the Spurs were also missing a number of players because of injuries. Manu Ginobili was out with a lower back bruise, while Tony Parker missed a second straight game because of a strained left hamstring.Tiago Splitter was still rehabbing a high calf injury, and Patty Mills continues to recover after off-season right shoulder surgery.The only two regular starters who played against the Blazers were Leonard and Danny Green. But Leonard gingerly held his left hand late in the game — the same hand that forced him to miss a pair of games earlier this month. Afterward Leonard said he was fine.We just wanted to go out there and compete, thats the only thing we could do, said Kyle Anderson, who had a career-high 15 points off the bench. We dont want to feel sorry for ourselves because were short-handed or whatever, were going out there to try to win the game, compete, do the things we normally do. If we fall short we could all look in the mirror and say we competed.The Blazers faced the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals last season, with San Antonio taking the series 4-1 on the way to the NBA championship. It was the first time Portland had advanced beyond the first round since 2000.The Blazers held an edge on the Spurs for most of the first half, but began to pull away when Lillards layup put Portland ahead 33-26. The Spurs closed the gap to 37-36 after Greens basket.Portland never let the Spurs any closer and led 48-43 at the half.Lopez left in the third quarter after it appeared he hit his hand hard on Boris Diaws head, but Lopez wasnt quite sure when — or how — the injury happened.Steve Blake his a 19-foot jumper that gave the Blazers an 80-70 lead early in the fourth quarter. Lillard extended it to 89-77 with a 3-pointer.TIP-INSSpurs: The absence of Duncan, Parker and Ginobili doesnt necessarily doom the Spurs. ... Earlier this month the Big 3 sat out against the New York Knicks and San Antonio won 109-95 on the road.Blazers: Aldridge was honoured before the game for passing Terry Porter for second on the Blazers franchise scoring list. Team owner Paul Allen was on hand for the pregame ceremony. ...

I really dont know to feel, what to think," he said. "Its amazing. I battled all day and to finish birdie-birdie and make the putts I did on the last two holes gives me so much confidence. I couldnt be happier." Presnell had three eagles, the last an 18-footer on the par-5 18th for a 68. "I heard roars, but I didnt know what happened," Hadwin said. "I knew it was going to be close. I said to my caddie on 17 tee that, If I make two birdies, they cant catch us." Hadwin got up-and-down from a greenside buunker on the 308-yard, par-4 17th to tie Presnell for the lead.dddddddddddd From 230 yards on the 18th, he hit a 4-iron that missed the green, then chipped to 4 feet and made the putt. "It was an awkward number. I wanted to hit 5-iron and didnt think I could clear the water if I missed it a little, so I went with 4," said Hadwin, a former University of Louisville player. "I guess I gave up on it a little and luckily it cleared the water. It was a fairly easy chip across the green and was able to get up and down for the victory." He became the 13th Canadian-born player to win on the Web.com Tour and the first since Chris Baryla in the 2009 Chattanoonga Classic, a span of 111 tournaments.
