After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Suns 95-94. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
