After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the Bucks 109-106. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
