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.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
