After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Celtics 119-99. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
