After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Hornets 118-108. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
