After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Clippers 100-88. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
