After Action Report
The Trail Blazers handled the Spurs 97-84. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; shots just aren't falling for the Spurs lately. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
