After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers pulled away from the Wizards 140-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
