After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Grizzlies 106-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
