After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Hornets 124-100. Trail Blazers torched the Hornets on the offensive end. 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. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
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.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
