After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Spurs 117-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
