After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers took care of the Suns 115-102. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
