After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Magic 108-100. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Magic. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
