After Action Report
The Spurs took care of the Trail Blazers 101-88. Spurs' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. 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.
- Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
