After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the SuperSonics 129-124. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
