After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Knicks 103-101. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
