After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Spurs 106-87. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
