After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Suns 107-106. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
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.
