After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the Warriors 119-118. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
