After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Clippers 98-97. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
