After Action Report

The Trail Blazers snuck past the Grizzlies 108-103. Trail Blazers torched the Grizzlies on the offensive end. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
