After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Hornets 101-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
