After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers handled the Jazz 105-93. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
