After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Trail Blazers pulled away from the Spurs 99-81. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Spurs' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
