The Portland Trail Blazers became the second team this week to beat the San Antonio Spurs in triple-overtime.
Damian Lillard had 43 points, LaMarcus Aldridge scored 32 and the Blazers pulled away in the third overtime to top the Spurs 129-119 on Friday night.
Lillard hit game-tying 3-pointers in regulation and the first overtime and scored nine of Portland's 17 points in the third overtime as the Blazers wrapped up their fourth consecutive win.
Cory Joseph hit a tying shot in the second OT for San Antonio, which became the first NBA team in 63 years to play in consecutive three-overtime games.
The Spurs fell to Memphis 117-116 in Wednesday's thriller, two days after the Blazers beat them in Portland.
So the reigning NBA champions have dropped three in a row, their longest losing streak since a three-game slide Jan. 26-29.
