After Action Report
The Spurs held off the Trail Blazers 107-100. Spurs torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
