After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers fended off the Heat 106-97. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
