After Action Report

The Trail Blazers downed the Clippers 145-127. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
