After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers knocked off the Warriors 116-105. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Warriors' stars took over and bent the game to their will. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
