After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Suns 95-89. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
