After Action Report
The Trail Blazers handled the SuperSonics 136-124. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
