After Action Report

The Spurs squeaked past the Trail Blazers 99-95. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
