After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Clippers 88-81. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
