After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Clippers 103-102. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
