After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Heat 119-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
