After Action Report
The Warriors squeaked past the Trail Blazers 103-101. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. The Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
