After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Clippers 115-108. The better team simply showed up tonight. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
