After Action Report
The Trail Blazers edged the Cavaliers 104-98. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
