After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 122-98. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
