After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Clippers 109-108. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Clippers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
