After Action Report

The Trail Blazers upended the Cavaliers 108-107. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
