After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Cavaliers 106-100. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
