After Action Report
The Trail Blazers held off the Clippers 93-85. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
