After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Cavaliers 116-93. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
