After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers outlasted the Jazz 99-92. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
