After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Suns 129-107. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
