After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Nets 86-82. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
