After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Heat 127-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
