After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Trail Blazers 123-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
