After Action Report
In Utah, the Trail Blazers shocked the Jazz 115-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
