After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Wizards 137-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
