After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the Hornets 107-106. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
