After Action Report
The Trail Blazers downed the Wizards 106-96. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
