After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the Spurs 106-101. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
