After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Spurs 114-89. Trail Blazers torched the Spurs on the offensive end. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
