After Action Report
The Trail Blazers pulled away from the Celtics 104-85. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
