After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Heat 127-119 in overtime. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
