After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Grizzlies 97-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
