After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Hornets 107-99. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
