After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Spurs 116-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
