After Action Report
The Warriors edged the Trail Blazers 126-117. The breakneck pace played right into Warriors' hands. Warriors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
