After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Bobcats 122-85. The Bobcats had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bobcats rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
