After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers survived the Spurs 113-109. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Spurs. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
