After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers buried the Jazz 123-101. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
