After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Suns 129-127. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
