After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Jazz 130-92. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
