After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers outlasted the 76ers 102-92. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
