After Action Report

In a track meet, the Trail Blazers survived the Wizards 114-109. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
