After Action Report
The Trail Blazers pulled away from the Spurs 95-79. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
