After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Knicks 126-100. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers; the Knicks are in a full-on tailspin. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
