After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Jazz 102-99. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
