After Action Report
The Trail Blazers upended the Clippers 123-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
