After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 120-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Trail Blazers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
