After Action Report

In Utah, the Trail Blazers outlasted the Jazz 109-93. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Jazz. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
