After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers knocked off the Raptors 108-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
