After Action Report
The Trail Blazers downed the Suns 118-102. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
