After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Trail Blazers edged the Spurs 91-85. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
