After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers outlasted the Grizzlies 136-122. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Grizzlies utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
