After Action Report
The Warriors downed the Trail Blazers 99-86. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Warriors. Fresh off a statement win, the Warriors stayed locked in; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
