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.
