After Action Report
The Trail Blazers stunned the Spurs 112-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
