After Action Report

The Trail Blazers held off the 76ers 116-107. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
