After Action Report

The Trail Blazers rolled past the SuperSonics 135-94. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
