After Action Report

The Trail Blazers snuck past the Cavaliers 105-103 in overtime. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
