The Trail Blazers fended off the Hornets 96-88. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
