After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Bucks 111-110. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Bucks. Bucks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bucks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
