After Action Report
The Trail Blazers pulled away from the Hornets 105-95. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
