After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Magic 119-83. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
