After Christmas, 1984 was quickly drawing to a close.
Players had no holidays; after a short rest, they continued on with the regular season's journey.
In the last two games of the year, the Trail Blazers left Portland and headed to Texas to play two away games.
On December 27th, they challenged the Spurs at the San Antonio Convention Center Arena, a stadium that resembled the Fujian Tulou,
it was the second recent encounter between the two teams.
Last time, Gan Guoyang furiously slammed Gilmore, which caused him to face boos from the San Antonio fans when he entered the game.
Gan Guoyang had played for two months, and this was the first time he got booed on an away ground, and the Trail Blazers lost the game on top of that.
