After Action Report
The Trail Blazers held off the Clippers 137-131 in double overtime. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
