After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 133-106. Trail Blazers' positional fit overwhelmed the Cavaliers rotation. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
