After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Clippers 132-125. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
