After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Trail Blazers shocked the Spurs 124-114. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. An upset for the books.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
