After Action Report
The Raptors snuck past the Trail Blazers 119-117. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
