After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Hornets 135-100. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
