After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Bobcats 104-96. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
