After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Knicks 104-79. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
