After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Magic 129-102. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
