After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the 76ers 93-88. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
