After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Spurs 125-95. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
