After Action Report

In Golden State, the Trail Blazers shocked the Warriors 118-100. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
