After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers handled the SuperSonics 127-116. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands.

Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it

- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
