After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Heat 107-104. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Heat · 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.
