After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Spurs 112-83. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
