After Action Report
In Portland, the Celtics handled the Trail Blazers 112-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
