After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Wizards 127-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
