After Action Report

The Trail Blazers outlasted the 76ers 113-105. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers. The 76ers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
