After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Pacers 118-97. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
