After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers snuck past the Spurs 113-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Spurs' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
