After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Jazz 100-97. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
