After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the Raptors 109-107. Trail Blazers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
