After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Trail Blazers 108-88. Celtics' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
