After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Raptors 98-93. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. 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.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
