After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Clippers 102-101. The Clippers 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; Clippers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
