After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers survived the 76ers 101-99. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
