After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Wizards 132-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
