After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers snuck past the Bobcats 110-109. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bobcats looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
