After Action Report
The Raptors held off the Trail Blazers 105-97. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
