After Action Report
The Spurs fended off the Trail Blazers 110-104. Every possession went the Spurs way. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Spurs · 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.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
