After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers snuck past the Heat 118-115. Trail Blazers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
