After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Pistons 89-83. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
