After Action Report

In Portland, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Nets 124-99. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
