After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Wizards 131-90. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
