The Trail Blazers pulled away from the Grizzlies 97-86. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
