After Action Report
The Spurs held off the Trail Blazers 118-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
