After Action Report

The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the 76ers 121-100. The Trail Blazers' lockdown unit choked off 76ers' offense. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
