After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers survived the Celtics 105-104. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
