After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers took care of the Cavaliers 121-105. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed.
