Under the leadership of Stotts, the Trail Blazers are tactically rigorous and well executed.
The pick-and-roll between Lillard and Aldridge is the main tactic.

"If anyone doesn't want to be on the court, say so right away."
After the timeout, Stokes also made personnel adjustments, Matthews was replaced, and Batum was replaced.

Jokic jumped up to collect the rebound.
Although Jokic cannot jump high, his rebounding ability is very strong, mainly relying on his body and awareness.
