After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers shocked the Trail Blazers 115-113. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
