After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Bobcats 99-97. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bobcats rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
