After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers survived the Hornets 109-106. Trail Blazers torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
