Tiago Splitter 'just trying to be a pro' as Trail Blazers pursue other coach candidates

Portland Trail Blazers interim head coach Tiago Splitter is focused on the NBA playoffs despite reports that new team owner Tom Dundon has been in contact with other candidates about potentially taking over the position.“I’m just trying to be a pro,” Splitter told reporters before Portland’s 106-103 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night in Game 2 that evened their first-round playoff series at 1-1. “Try to focus on my locker room and my staff and try to stay and think about basketball. Same way when I got the job and all the stuff that was going on.”Advertisement
