After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Grizzlies 96-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Grizzlies utilization choices clashed with the team identity. 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.
