After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers downed the Clippers 118-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
