After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Raptors 103-97. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
