After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Clippers 118-97. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Clippers. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
