After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Warriors 103-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
