After Action Report

The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Suns 128-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. 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. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
