After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Cavaliers 103-101. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
