After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Spurs 103-98. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
