After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Magic 106-101. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
