After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Suns 114-110. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
