After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers snuck past the Nets 101-96. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
