After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the Cavaliers 110-107. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
