After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Grizzlies 126-125 in overtime. The Grizzlies had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
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.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
