Trail Blazers 105, Hornets 97: Wesley Matthews' 28 points led visiting Portland to its ninth straight win. The TrailBlazers (12-3) are 7-0 against Eastern Conference teams.

Popovich not with Spurs
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich missed last night's 106-100 win over the Pacers after undergoing what the team called a minor medical procedure. He also is expected to miss tomorrow's home game vs. the Kings.
Assistant Ettore Messina will run the team. He becomes the first European-born coach to run an NBA team in the regular season. Referred by many as the "Coach Pop of Europe," Messina is in his first season with the Spurs. -- AP
