After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Suns 102-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
