After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers fended off the Jazz 129-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
