Portland Trail Blazers interim head coach Tiago Splitter said he's "just trying to be a pro" and focus on the team's first playoff appearance in five years as reports swirled about new owner Tom Dundon talking to outside candidates to replace him. "Just trying to be a pro," Splitter said before the Blazers' 106-103 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series Tuesday night. "[I] try to focus on my locker room and my staff to stay and think about basketball. Same way when I got the job and all the stuff that was going on."
