After Action Report
In Portland, the Hornets demolished the Trail Blazers 119-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
