After Action Report

The Trail Blazers stunned the Jazz 84-80. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. An upset for the books.
