After Action Report

The Trail Blazers survived the Hornets 138-136. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
