After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers shocked the Jazz 120-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. 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.
