After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the Jazz 114-113. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
