After Action Report
The Trail Blazers shocked the Suns 116-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; the Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
