After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Grizzlies 106-101. The Grizzlies couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed.
