After Action Report

The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Hornets 138-109. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
