After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Hornets 97-95. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.
