Nurkic, who was acquired last month in a trade with Denver, also had eight assists and six blocks in Portland’s season-high fourth straight win.
According to the Blazers, Nurkic is the first NBA player to post at least 28 points, 20 rebounds, 8 assists and 6 blocks in a game since Charles Barkley pulled the feat in November 1986. From the losing side Croatian Dario Saric had a season-best 28 points, Spaniard Sergio Rodriguez added 6 points and 8 assists, while French Timothe Luwawu Cabarro scored 5 points.

Turki Enes Kanter added 14 points and 10 rebounds, Lithuanian Domantas Sabonis had 6 points and Spaniard Alex Abrines scored 3. For the Spurs Latvian Davis Bertans also had 3 points and Spaniard Pau Gasol 18 points and 7 rebounds.
