After Action Report
The Trail Blazers knocked off the Spurs 132-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Spurs lately. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
