After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Spurs 109-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
