After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Trail Blazers 128-102. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
